Thieves’ Gambit by Kayvion Lewis
“When 17-year-old master thief Ross’s mom gets kidnapped, Ross enters the Thieves’ Gambit. It turns her world upside down as she tries to follow her #1 rule: Trust No One. This was an amazing thriller/adventure book. I would give it a 10/10. It does have cursing and some love elements so I would recommend it for ages 12+. I loved the book.” — Nima M., age 11
At only seventeen years old, Ross Quest is already a master thief, especially adept at escape plans. Until her plan to run away from her legendary family of thieves takes an unexpected turn, leaving her mother’s life hanging in the balance.
In a desperate bid, she enters the Thieves’ Gambit, a series of dangerous, international heists where killing the competition isn’t exactly off limits, but the grand prize is a wish for anything in the world—a wish that could save her mom. When she learns two of her competitors include her childhood nemesis and a handsome, smooth-talking guy who might also want to steal her heart, winning the Gambit becomes trickier than she imagined.
Ross tries her best to stick to the family creed: trust no one whose last name isn’t Quest. But with the stakes this high, Ross will have to decide who to con and who to trust before time runs out. After all, only one of them can win.
