Heist Society: Book review

As you can see i have entered a new phase; the review phase. I have a movie review on Gnomeo and Juliet which you should check out if you've either seen the movie or if you are going to. Although it has a label of SPOILER ALERT i dont think a lot will be spoiled. By the way if you know of any good movie please let me know, thnx!!
Now about this book. Its called Heist Society by Ally Carter author of the famous Ghallager girls series. Its about 15-year old Katarina Bishop or Kat, a girl brought up in a family of...thieves. Yes thieves or con people. Katarina though is not exactly interested in this family "business" so she cons her way into a very academic boarding school. I suppose it just wasn't meant to be when she gets expelled three months later for an offense she didnt commit! She then finds out that her father master thief Bobby Bishop is bieng framed for stealing five paintings from mobster Arturo Taccone. This mobster has given Kat a deadline of two weeks to return the five paintings by threatning to harm her father and later on her friends. Kat must assemble a team of thieves to steal back these paintings and save her father. Will she be able to commit this impossible crime??
     This book is amazing!!! As you can see through my summary its also a very involved book, sort of a different turn from her other books about girls who are spies and catch bad guys. I think its cool that she shows both perspectives in her work, its not often that you see things from a thiefs point of view now is it? I think she has done very well in doing so. In my profile it says i work in the law inforcement industry (not really) thats because i am obbsessed with the show sue thomas f b eye. Well this book has changed my perspective and now made me think WHY thieves do what they do. This is an amazing book, ***** five stars for this book!!!!
