Fans of Ally Carter's Heist Society novels will love this teen mystery/thriller with sarcastic wit, a hint of romance, and Ocean’s Eleven–inspired action. Julep Dupree tells lies. A lot of them. She’s a con artist, a master of disguise, and a sophomore at Chicago’s swanky St. Agatha High, where her father, an old-school grifter with a weakness for the ponies, sends her to so she can learn to mingle with the upper crust. For extra spending money Julep doesn’t rely on her dad—she runs petty scams for her classmates while dodging the dean of students and maintaining an A+ (okay, A-) average.But when she comes home one day to a ransacked apartment and her father gone, Julep’s carefully laid plans for an expenses-paid golden ticket to Yale start to unravel. Even with help from St. Agatha’s resident Prince Charming, Tyler Richland, and her loyal hacker sidekick, Sam, Julep struggles to trace her dad’s trail of clues through a maze of creepy stalkers, hit attempts, family secrets, and worse, the threat of foster care. With everything she has at stake, Julep’s in way over her head . . . but that’s not going to stop her from using every trick in the book to find her dad before his mark finds her. Because that would be criminal. “A sexy love triangle and madcap mystery . . . I loved this book.” —Jennifer Echols, author of Dirty Little SecretOne of TeenVogue's 15 Most Exciting YA Books of 2014One of PopCrush's 10 Most Anticipated YA Books"Julep isn't just another high schooler beset by the usual drama of boys and academia. Nope—she also happens to be a con artist and master of disguise, which comes in mighty handy when her father mysteriously disappears.

From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—Julep Dupree is a liar. Trained by her father in the family grifting business, she is adept at trading lies for money to pay the bills. Good thing, too, because the tuition for St. Agatha's High School is high. Julep isn't alarmed when she returns home one evening to find that her father missing, but the tousled state of the apartment leaves her with a hollow feeling and sets her on a chase to find him and the "mark" that perpetrated the ransacking. Best friend Sam is worried for her, but the teen pushes off his concern, even as she begins to get unusual and convenient attention from the class heartthrob, Tyler Richland. Together, the three high school students work to discover answers to all of Julep's questions, a mission that will prove deadly for one of them. Summer has penned a debut novel chronicling the life of a teenage grifter that is outrageous and believable. In Julep, the author explores a young female character who must call into question the actions of all those with whom she has contact, drawing upon inner strength to fortify her, even in the face of mortal danger. Summer's characters are well developed and leave readers looking forward to the next installment in this series.—Colleen S. Banick, Westport Public Schools, CT

Many of them try to be unique, but it's difficult when the tried and true formulas are what sells books. So this author was going out on a limb here when she tried something new --- there was a big chance that the story wouldn't resonate. Okay, I'm telling you now: you need to read this book. It has a real plot. It has a real protagonist. She's smart. She's cynical. She's funny. She's....she's just what the genre needs right now: a breath of fresh air.Julep Dupree - and she'll be the first to tell you that's not even her real name - is a grifter. She'll explain it to you more in the book, but basically, she's a Class A con-artist. But don't be so quick to judge here because she's got a good reason for this: A) Coming from a family line of grifters, it's all she's really ever known, and B) if she ever wants to get out of the business and make something of (legitimate) of herself, she's going to need to finance her education somehow and you gotta do what you gotta do. But all of this is just background, not the main gist of the story. The story doesn't even really begin until Julep runs into a really big problem: someone has snagged her father who, despite the fact that he's also a big time grifter, is Julep's only family and grifters or not, they are all each other has. Julep needs to get her dad back. And clearly, the police aren't the first choice to call here for help.This is not a hokey, two-bit novel. It really is well-written, well-paced, and thoroughly enjoyable. I'd put it in the top 5 YA books of the year and hope I see more of Julep. Read it...I'd love to see this the new trend in YA!

By OutlawPoet This is one of those books that just kills me when it comes to reviewing - primarily because it's so much fun, but so freaking illogical I just want to scream.Let's start with the fun:Julep is a grifter - a con artist. She comes by it honestly, as her father is one of the best grifters out there. And Julep just might be better. She's known as the Fixer at the posh private school she attends - the girl who can make anything happen. And she's enjoying herself, running her cons, until her father disappears - and Julep is the only person who can find him.Sounds fun, doesn't it? And it is.Julep is smart, funny, and a bit snarky. And the other characters are great as well. Sam, Julep's sidekick who harbors a sweet secret. Murphy, the school nerd with a crush on one of the most popular girls in school. Tyler, probably the most handsome boy in school who seems to be extremely interested in Julep all of a sudden. A butt kicking female who just may be some sort of assassin. The sweet bookie who cares about Julep and her dad.The book moves like crazy, from one wild situation to the next and will leave you gasping, laughing, and even sorrowful in parts.But then, comes logic:Julep's cons make no logical sense whatsoever. The ten year old girl who dresses like a little person and goes to a bar for a drink? The free coffee for eternity con? The whole Murphy thing which seemed so very complex. And then there's the college con. Let me tell you, if my kid was applying for college and then I'm told that instead of writing a tuition check to the college, I'm to make the check out in the name of the person who interviewed her, I'm calling both the college and the police immediately.More disconcerting is that for a con artist, perhaps the best teen con artist in the world, Julep doesn't read people very well. Reading people, your marks and otherwise, is the most important part of the con. And Julep can't read a soul. The con artist gets conned too much in this book.And finally, if you were the premier teen con artist out there, would you tell everyone you know that you're a con artist? I don't think you would last long if you did.Don't get me wrong, the book is fun. I read it quickly and enjoyed it. You just need to turn your brain off before you read!
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. For fans of Veronica Mars and The Heist Society, a must read! By Jump Into Books This book was simply amazing from start to finish. If you are a fan of The Heist Society series by Ally Carter and of the television show, Veronica Mars, then you will LOVE this book.I don't think that I can sing enough praises for this book, really. It had me pulled in from start to finish and I was pretty satisfied with the ending. Although at one point, it was a total shocker, a few "I didn't see that coming" moments, and some laughs.The character of Julep Dupree has wit and talent. A con artist most would call her. She pulls cons to keep tuition for her pristine school of St. Agatha's, and to make rent. But her dad ends up missing, so she, with the help of Sam and Tyler, set out to find him.I absolutely fell in love with these characters. Sam is the slightly geekish friend next door. High tech to the core and always helping out Julep. Tyler is pretty awesome, preppy and good looking, and you sometimes question his motives, but eventually realize what he is all about.I highly recommend this book to everyone ages 15 and older.
