Publisher Description
Kat Bishop wants to leave the family business. But that’s not easy if your family is a gang of exclusive, world-class thieves.
When a mobster accuses Kat’s dad of stealing his priceless art collection, Kate knows there’s only one thing to do – she has to find the paintings and steal them back. But with only two weeks, a teenage crew, a plan that will take her across Europe, and her dad’s life on the line, can she pull off the biggest heist in history?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The daughter of notorious thieves, Kat Bishop has enrolled in the exclusive Colgan School to escape the family business and try to live a normal life. But when she is kicked out, Kat has to return to her roots. She is informed that five priceless paintings have been taken from the powerful mobster Arturo Taccone, and that her father is Taccone's only suspect. It is up to Kat to return the paintings before Taccone takes matters into his own hands. Kat embarks on a daring, dangerous heist, immersing herself in the world of art, money, and extreme power. With the help of her friend (and crush), Hale, and a band of teenage coconspirators, Kat crisscrosses the globe to locate Taccone's paintings. Carter takes on large themes family, friendship, loyalty, and good versus evil and effectively gives readers light lessons in geography and art, as well as thought-provoking commentary on artwork stolen during the Holocaust. With a smart and stealthy heroine who should appeal to Gallagher Girls fans, Carter's story is fast-paced and popcorn-ready. Readers will likely look forward to Kat's next adventure. Ages 11 up.

It was good, not brilliant but good.
This book had some great reviews so I bought it, but was a bit disappointed for the cost.
There were some slow bits, but I enjoyed the style of writing.
If you can get it cheap, do it!
