Tired of her lifelong involvement in her family's business of stealing, teenage thief Katarina Bishop enrolls herself in a prestigious boarding school. Then after a mere three months there, her friend, 16-year-old billionaire W.W Hale V, arranges for her expulsion. After escorting her home, he informs her that five paintings have been stolen from the menacing Arturo Taccone and that her father is the prime suspect. Determined to save him by locating the real thief and stealing the paintings back, Kat gathers a team of larcenous friends to pull off the heist before the two-week deadline, only to discover that the works were stolen by world-renowned Visily Romani, a thief famous for reclaiming Nazi-spoils. By planning the theft of the Henley, a museum in London, well known for its security, and by remaining one step ahead of Interpol and the mobster on her tail, Kat negotiates complicated relationships in this action-packed heist story.
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 history--and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way.
Ally Carter and I shared a cover model once! The model on the cover of Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy also posed as Violet on all three of my Violet covers! (Read that story here.)This week her latest novel, Heist Society, is out, and it's got a fantastic cover, in my opinion. Here's Ally with the Cover Story:"I am not an artist -- not even a little bit. Plus, my wonderful publisher, Disney-Hyperion, has always blessed me with such fabulous covers before that I didn't spend a lot of time trying to come up with a specific concept. The only thing I felt certain of was that it should have a lush, rich feel and feature art in some way."When researching art and famous art heists I, of course, heard the story of the 1990 robbery of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston which many consider to be the largest single art theft in history. Twelve paintings were taken in that heist, but Mrs. Gardner's will indicated that the collection was to never change -- no paintings could be sold or added -- so the museum left the empty frames on the museum's walls, waiting for the missing paintings to be returned. That image (above) was always very vivid in my mind, and I shared the story with my editor.When I saw my cover, my first thought was 'Wow!' My second was 'That's Kat.' The sunglasses and reflection were fabulous, but, to me, the best part is the little smile. That little smile says it all."My editor is Jennifer Besser with Disney-Hyperion and she's absolutely amazing (she's the powerhouse editor behind series like Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan and Bluebloods by Melissa de la Cruz.) She is always open to talk and brainstorm and do whatever we can to make things even better. But I have to say all my suggestions were little things -- trying to make the model's eyes the shade of blue I'd always imagined Kat's to be, tweaking the cover copy -- little things like that."This was a difficult cover to do because, in a way, Heist Society is my most complex book. It's (hopefully) a fun, funny book that takes place in a lot of glamorous, exciting locations, but it's also touches on some very serious issues. Those complexities were tough to summarize in one image, so my publisher tried many, many different treatments before finding the image that we all knew was just right. That final image changed very little from the first time I saw it."At first, they worked a lot with stock photos, playing with different ideas, trying to capture the perfect concept and, believe me, they went through dozens of them! I knew they were getting close when my editor started saying things like 'I think we may have one.... I think this might be the one....' At that point they sent me a very rough mock-up using stock photos and I immediately agreed."Next, they sent me shots of several potential models, and we all agreed on Olga, a Russian model living and working in New York. She simply was Kat. They did a photo shoot with Olga then, and the rest, as they say, is history.""I absolutely love this cover. It does what I didn't think was possible: capturing the total essence of the story. Every time I look at it I find something else I'm drawn to -- especially that little smile."Thanks, Ally! I love this cover, and I think the smile captures such mischievousness and the sunglass reflection works so well.What do you guys think?

When the search for a stolen gem takes the Oxventurers to a fancy high society ball, some of the gang (Prudence) take to it better than others (Egbert). Will our heroes solve the mystery of the missing emerald?
Sometime after the last adventure, the Guild find themselves in a town called Rutherglen. They hope that they'll finally be able to relax in the fancy town, but they soon notice a man in a set of stocks. Corazn throws an egg at him but Dob catches it inches from his face. The man, Horatio, explains that he thinks that he's going to be sentenced to death, as he was found guilty of stealing a gem that he did not steal. He says that he is in love with Amelia Hawthorne, the daughter of Giles Hawthorne founder of the jewellers Hawthorne & Booker. Horatio suspects that Giles framed of him of stealing the jewel that made his fortune, the Emerald Tear, so he wouldn't marry his daughter, and that Amelia has believed her father and disavowed him.
Upon hearing his story, the Guild agree to help him, with Dob saying they'll do it for free, much to Corazn's dismay, but he plans to steal the jewel for himself anyway. Horatio says that Giles is hosting a masquerade at his mansion, Hawthorne Heights, to celebrate his execution and suggest the Guild sneak into find the jewel, since the party was an open invite. Horatio tells Dob to retrieve a set of keys from his pocket, as he owns a mask shop, and they retrieve a bunch knock off masks of themselves and some fancy dress outfits, Egbert donning a pelt made out of seventy nine wolf pelts and one dog after misunderstanding a conversation with Merilwen.
With their clothing sorted, the Guild get a horse drawn carriage and Egbert "hot wires" the horses, causing them to travel at breakneck speed. As they approach the mansion they see that, even though it was an open invite, the Hawthornes are only letting in those who they deem worthy of entering, essentially making the poor people wait outside. Before they crash into the building, Merilwen uses Speak with Animals asks the speeding horses to stop. They come drifting into carriage way, ruining the lawn.
They head lines into the mansion, which have been separated into different classes, from poorest to fanciest. They head for the line fanciest people, where they are the only one there. They are greeted by a with man a clipboard, who has the eyes of a killer and isn't convinced they are worthy to be in that line. Dob tries to get him to leave his post by claiming their valet has been stealing from the guests, but he instead sends someone to deal with it for him. Prudence casts Charm Person on the man and claims that they are the band that is booked for the party. The man lets them in and Corazn makes an obscene gesture at everyone in the other queue.
Upon entering, Corazn immediately tries to file down the gold statues in the hall, but immediately told to stop by one of the servants. Dob suggests that they split up. Merilwen and Prudence go to hear Giles give a speech, Corazn and Dob sneak upstairs and try to find clues, while Egbert just goes to the dance floor to enjoy the party. Corazn and Dob manage to sneak their way up the stairs by pretending to scoff at the art, causing one of the artists to run out crying. They find Giles' office, but they hear a woman crying in one of the rooms. They stride in with purpose into the room and find Emilia, who shrieks upon seeing them. They tell her that Horatio sent them and they try to convince her of his innocence, but she doesn't believe them, believing that her father wouldn't lie to her. Plus, the head of the city guard and the pawn broker he supposedly sold the gem to testified against Horatio, leaving little room for doubt.
Meanwhile, back at the party, Giles Hawthorne appears at the party, and everyone is silenced, even Egbert. He welcomes his guests to his home, as tonight they are celebrating Horatio's arrest and tomorrow they "probably" see him hanged. Egbert doesn't like the uncertainty of they statement, thinking that Giles is on to them, and runs off, grabbing a glass of champagne on his way out. Prudence and Merilwen go up to talk to Giles and, even though he can tell they are pretending to be posh, he finds them charming enough to let them stay, for now. Merilwen asks where Emilia is and Giles explains that she refuses to join the party, as she is heartbroken that her beloved would dare steal from her father, causing the people behind him to titter like he just told an amusing joke.
