#2 -- Heist Society

This is Book One in a series by Ally Carter (who also wrote the Gallagher Girls series). It was a good, suspenseful read which reminded me of the movie "The Thomas Crown Affair" since it was based on a group of art thieves. In the book, the heist was planned by a group of teenagers who were trying to save the life, and prove the innocence of, one of their parents. They had to steal artwork to keep it out of the hands of the bad guys. I won't go into how they planned to accomplish that, so you will have to read the book yourself to find out!!

Overall it was a good, quick read and good for 5th - 8th graders.  I plan to read the second book of the series soon!!
