AJ dreads spending four weeks with her prim grandma Jo. When she discovers her grandmother's bridge club is actually a "heist club," AJ is delighted to learn less-than-legal skills and play Robin Hood. She becomes more concerned, however, as the rationale behind the heists grows questionable. Also challenging is juggling new friendships and Grandma's judgments. A lighthearted, sneakily thought-provoking story about developing a conscience.
