YAHeist Society series.
Katarina, fifteen, and her con artist crew are tasked with stealing the Cleopatra Emerald--a well-secured and supposedly cursed gem--and returning it to its rightful owner...or so they think. When the team members discover they've been conned, they race to steal the emerald back before it's lost forever. Carter's chatty, humorous voice and cinematic prose bolster this jewel-thief thriller.
