Even before publication, Warner Bros. has won a multi-studio bidding war to steal away 'Heist Society', a young adult thriller novel by Ally Carter. Warners beat out Disney, Paramount and Summit, all of which jumped at the chance to bring to the screen a book which can be described as 'The Thomas Crown Affair' with teens.
The book follows a young woman named Katarina Bishop who comes from an extended family of master thieves.
From priceless art to the crown jewels, her family is renowned for pulling the greatest cons of all time, and Kat is no exception. But when Kat turns fifteen, she scams her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave her grifting life behind.
But when a powerful mobster is robbed of his priceless art collection, Kat's father is at the top of the suspect list. Kat knows there's only one thing to do - she has to find the paintings and steal them back. But with only two weeks, a teenage crew, a plan that will take her across Europe, and her dad's life on the line, can she pull off the biggest heist in history?
Ally Carter is a writer living and working in the American Midwest. She loved school so much she kept going ... and going ... and going ... until finally she had to graduate. She has degrees from Oklahoma State University and Cornell University. She is the author of two adult books, I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You and Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy and Don't Judge a Girl By Her Cover are her first young adult novels in the Gallagher Girls series.
