Heist Society by Ally Carter
Summary:
Summary:
When Katarina Bishop
was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it. For
her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to
Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a
con of her own—scamming her way into the best boarding school in the
country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately,
leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected.
Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring Kat back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.
For Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family's history--and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way.

Why it's on my wishlist...
I have read and enjoyed the Gallagher Girls series and if this series has any of the same elements, I will be in love...again. That being said, I need to get this as soon as my pile of books dwindles just a little.
What are you wishing for?
