The Inheritance Games meets Ocean’s 11 in this thrilling adventure
about a teenager determined to pull off the perfect heist in the middle
of her father’s wedding.
Seventeen-year-old Olivia Owens isn’t thrilled that her dad’s getting
remarried…again. She’s especially not thrilled that he cheated on her
mom, kicked them out of their Rhode Island home, and cut Olivia out of
her rightful inheritance.
But this former heiress has a plan for revenge. While hundreds of
guests gather on the grounds of the gorgeous estate where she grew up,
everyone will be thinking romance—not robbery. She’ll play the part of
dutiful daughter, but in reality she’ll be redistributing millions from
her father’s online accounts. She only needs the handwritten pass code
he keeps in the estate’s safe.
With the help of an eclectic crew of high school students and one
former teacher, Olivia has plotted her mid-nuptial heist down to the
second. But she didn’t plan for an obnoxiously nosy wedding guest, an
interfering ex-boyfriend intent on winning her back, greedy European
cousins with their own agenda, or a vengeful second wife. When
everything seems like it’s going wrong, Olivia has to keep her eyes on
what really matters: getting rich. And when she’s done, “something
borrowed” will be the understatement of the year.
Damian's new friend wants him to be a hero. But what does that

Soon Finn is forced to ask himself: who is he, really? A funny,
heartfelt novel about friendship and family - and where the limits
are for both. Ben Davis' new book, My Brilliant Plan to Fix
