Thieves' Gambit
by Kayvion Lewis
What an adrenaline rush!
The author hits the ground running and never lets up, hurling the reader into the world of high-stakes crime, and tying it together with teenage coming-of-age conflict. The contest posits teens who have been trained since babyhood as thieves, which means they can get along in any language and in any city, infiltrate a high-end antiquities auction, use martial arts, drive like Mario Andretti, with the ease of James Bond; they drive, fight, which is thoroughly fun wish fulfillment storytelling. The pacing is so frenetic that the romance felt a bit tacked on, but that was entirely overshadowed by heroine Ross's friendship with the awesome Noella.
All in all it reads like it was written to be adapted to a TV series. I'd watch it!
