The Classy Crooks Club | Alison Cherry
6 posts | 5 read | 11 to read
Twelve-year-old AJ is dreading spending the summer with her uber-strict grandmother—that is, until she’s recruited to join Grandma Jo’s heist club—in this hilarious and quirky twist on a summer vacation story. AJ does not, under any circumstances, want to spend an entire month living with her strict Grandma Jo. Not only does her grandmother tell her how to walk, what to eat, and which rooms she can enter, she fills all of AJ’s free time with boring sewing lessons! Grandma Jo wants nothing more than to transform her adventurous, fun-loving granddaughter into a prim and proper lady…and AJ hates it. But AJ’s dull summer takes an exciting turn when she discovers that her grandmother’s “bridge group” is actually a club of crooks! And when Grandma Jo offers to teach AJ lock picking instead of embroidery in exchange for help with a few capers, AJ is thrilled to join her grandmother’s madcap band of thieves who claim to steal only for ethical reasons. But even the most respectable ladies can hide some truly surprising secrets, and AJ must decide for herself what it truly means to be one of the good guys.

This was a super addictive read. I loved the heist bits, and didn't see the ending coming!

Entrapment meets The Golden Girls. There's probably a better description but that's the short version! A middle grade heist novel with a suspenseful twist at the end that I actually didn't see coming.

Guys, this book is so fun! But it's also making me happy I'm not a 12 year old girl anymore. Those were tough days.

And now for something completely different!
For some reason, lately the only mysteries I've been interested in have been middle grade novels. And yet, here we are! #noregrets
EDIT: I think this is going to be less of a mystery and more of a heist novel. Still rad!
