When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her 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 her back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has good reason: a powerful mobster’s priceless art collection has been stolen and he wants it returned. Only a master thief could have pulled off 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 (very crooked) history — and with any luck, steal her life back along the way.

"This book was really good! It's not a favorite of mine but I really enjoyed reading it. I loved the characters I thought they were entertaining and fun. I loved the whole professional thief thing, I loved Kat's family, they were probably my favorite characters next to Arturo Taccone, he was a lovable character...well at least he was to me. Anyway this book was really good and I enjoyed every minute of it can't wait to get my hands on the second one!" — Samantha (4 out of 5 stars)

“This irresistible light-fingered fairy tale is elevated by glamour and mystery. Carter’s style is conversational, smooth, and clever, exposing Kat’s wry humor and her steely determination…Daring, delicious, but filled with a sense of purpose, Heist Society mixes classic elements of the adolescent bildungsroman into a high-stakes escapade.”
" This book wasn't what I expected. It was different but it was overall a Alrite book. I didn't love it but i didn't hate it. At times I was confused and wondering what and who? I don't know if there was supposed to be romance but it seemed like it and times then again it didn't. "
" a very cool book "
" The ending was clever...somewhat Thomas Crowne-like. All in all, it was pretty good. "
" Weird Twist. I'm used to reading about a hero but instead you are reading about a Villain. It was really good and interesting. "
" This book is a majestic book that takes my heart away. I was really surprised when I found out that Nick was a traitor! OMG! Everything just fell into place at every page I turned. This book goes to my favorites. "
" This was such a fun book! I couldn't put it down. Exciting, fun, thrilling, clean. I recommend it! It is written for the teen audience, but so are some of my favorite books :) "
" I like the story and the telling...felt a little forced with the actual heist part. But it was cute over all. (pg) "
" Another action-packed story from Ally Carter, recommended for fans of the Gallagher Girls books and Ocean's 11. "
" I enjoyed this book. At times it was a little hard to follow the plot. "
" Took me long enough. I'm back everyone. Haha "
" I originally picked up this book because the author wrote the Gallagher Girls series. I found that this book had a very similar plot and characters, but i still really liked it! This book had a little more action than her other novels, though. "
" I didn't like the authors writing style at all and I just found the book to be boring and predictable. The characters were also not very engaging. I wouldn't recommend this book. "
" Think The Thomas Crown Affair for teens! Loved it! "
" I loved this book, it had a lot of action, but not to much that it's repetitive! I'm a sucker for any kind of spy/thief books. "
" Very easy read. Finished the book in two days. "
" I read Heist Society as a book club book and liked it very much. It was a little confusing to read, but that's part of what made it so good. Even now there are parts I'm still confused about but that's okay because I have the second one to start very soon! "
" Many twists in turns in this mystery/adventure book. Follow Kat and her friends as she tries to save her father from an Italian mob-like man. All in all, it was a good read and I will probably look for more of her books. "
" Very good! Ally Carter will always come to my mind if I ever read another spy book! "
" A three point five. Quite a fun book with some clever tricks. Left me curious, and I'm sure I'll read the sequel soon. "
" Really this is more a 3.5 for the series. I like Carter's strong female protagonists. They are smart, clever leaders. I would want my tween/teen to read these when the time comes. "
" I think the characters should have been a couple years older to make the story better for sure. "
" It was ok. It was fast-paced and had an interesting plot, but was kind of poorly written. "
" So cute!!! I loved it!!! I think the author could have made the book longer and more intense. "
" it was ok GG is better thoguh "
" I picked this up thinking it might be a bit teeny-bopper for me but it was a very clever book. The characters were smart, witty, and savvy. I really enjoyed it and it was squeaky clean. "
" OHHHHH!!!! Ally Carter has out done herself again. I love Kat, I love Hale, and I can stand Gabrielle. Fun plot and story, wanna know what happens next!!! "
" i love the way Ally Carter writes. She makes books funny with lots of action, and this book was hilarious. "
" Fast paced international adventure. A wonderful break from the swoony first love YAs. "
" This is a fun read about the daughter of a long line of art thieves. It's funny and sweet and reads like a Disney movie, but I recommend it. "
" I thought it was a little cliched and the characters weren't compellingly likeable "
" Read this amazing book a while ago. I forgot to add it :) "
" Greatest book ever. I am already reading the second one. "
" A teen heist story. A bit unbelievable that a bunch of teens can do a major heist, but I was willing to suspend reality for a little fun read. I think I'll like this series better than Carter's other teen-spy series. We'll see. "
