SuitabookUncommon Criminals (Heist Society #2)
Ally Carter
- Reading
- Pause after the crew’s usual tricks stop working and ask what alternatives Kat is considering. This can help a reader track her choices without assuming that the curse is real.
- Themes
- Stealing and rightful ownership: Kat and her crew are asked to steal the emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners. The premise connects a criminal act with a claimed restitution, but does not establish how the story judges that choice.
- The emerald’s curse: The emerald is described as cursed, and its holders are said not to keep it for long. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The crew is asked to carry out a theft, and the emerald is associated with a curse and danger. The tone and degree of peril are unclear, so consider whether this kind of suspense suits your reader.
