Heist Society / Ally Carter / 287 pages

This book is typical Ally Carter, and I almost thought I had read it already it was so similar to other books I have read by this author.  A good read, Heist Society tells of a family of thieves who steal very valuable items.  Longing for a normal life, Kat Bishop leaves to attend a prestigious school in the States.  Unfortunately, she is suspended because the administration believes she is responsible for the headmaster's car spewing water in the fountain.  She has been set up.  Her family wants her back.  Her father has been accused of stealing paintings from a wealthy man and he gives a deadline for their return.  If the deadline is not met, her father will suffer the consequences.  The paintings were originally stolen by the Nazis.  Kat's team is fun, believable if you are willing to suspend disbelief, and enjoyably teenaged.
