His solution, however, may prove to be too radical. When his Mattie's brother Carter is suddenly next in line for Rooney's master plan, Mattie and the renegade siblings, Eliot and Caroline, must band together to save him and the rest of Munchem's students before all is lost. Suddenly, Mattie - the good son - must find his inner hero and fight back. And that's how the world's greatest thief got his start.

Author Bio

Commander S. T. Bolivar, III was born at a very young age and has been working on a personal motto ever since. He is currently torn between "The bigger the lie, the more they'll believe it" and "Cheer up! The worst is yet to come." Bolivar is best known for his scholarly codices on the origins of the world's finest criminal minds; his works are often recommended by people who recommend things. Despite the commander's astonishing success, he frequently considers giving it all up to become a billionaire. Or, the hero of a prophecy.
