Katarina (Kat) was born into a family of thieves, but she has been trying to have a normal life. She stole herself a place in the Colgan Boarding School only to lose it after being framed for a theft she did not commit (stealing the Dean’s car and turning it into a fountain). Then soon after being expelled she discovers her father is in a heap of trouble. Not from Interpol, but from an eccentric billionaire who believes that he stole 5 priceless (Nazi Contraband) paintings from his home (which happens to have a security system that is next to impossible to crack. not to mention the house has a moat!). When the billionaire confronts Kat and gives her father 13 days to give back his paintings and Kat’s father says he didn’t do it, Kat has to find the paintings and give them back or Dad has seen the last of his days. With no adults willing to go up against the real thief who stole the paintings the teens of the family take on the job to save Kat’s dad!
So very cool! I think I like this better then her Galliger Girls Series, and I love them. Even with my busy schedule I finished this book in 3 days. I read before bed for an hour, when I woke up for 2 hours, on my lunch hour, and while waiting to see the Scott Pilgrim movie. There are only two girl thieves in this book and a swarm of guys. I think Kat is a great character (and Hale is way better/cuter/hotter/…insert proper word here… then Edawrd Cullen in all his stalker-like tendencies. True he’s a thief, but he’s honest about it). Bring on book 2 and I will be at the store the first day to buy myself a copy! It is so very much worth the read!
