The enemies-to-lovers heist with an ending everyone's talking about, shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. Soon to be a major movie and picked for Zoe Ball's Radio 2 Book Club, for fans of Jennifer Lynn Barnes and Suzanne Collins.

'Strap in for the ride with this twisty, fast-paced heist' Daily Mail

Challenge: Join the Thieves’ Gambit, a cut-throat competition to crown the world’s greatest thief

Rule 1: Never fall in love with your opponent

Rule 2: The only thief you can trust is yourself

Endgame: Win the heist to save your family - and yourself . . .

Seventeen-year-old Rosalyn Quest was raised by a legendary family of thieves with one rule: trust no one. When her mother is kidnapped, her only chance to save her is to win the Thieves’ Gambit – a deadly competition for the world’s best thieves, where the victor is granted one wish. To win, she must outwit all of her backstabbing competitors, including her childhood archnemesis. But can she take victory from the handsome, charming boy who makes a play for her heart and might be hiding the most dangerous secret of all?

I was looking for a novel that would appeal to a 210 fourteen year old girls, mixed reading interests and levels. This is perfect, plenty of action, diverse characters and a story to keep them engaged. Looking forward to book 2.
