Summary

Saving the school -- one con at a time."A political heist page-turner set in middle school? Is that even possible? Varian Johnson shows us how it's done." - Gordon Korman, author of SWINDLE "Do yourself a favor and start reading immediately." - Rebecca Stead, author of WHEN YOU REACH ME Jackson Greene swears he's given up scheming. Then school bully Keith Sinclair announces he's running for Student Council president, against Jackson's former friend Gaby de la Cruz. Gaby wants Jackson to stay out of it -- but he knows Keith has "connections" to the principal, which could win him the presidency no matter the vote count. So Jackson assembles a crack team: Hashemi Larijani, tech genius. Victor Cho, bankroll. Megan Feldman, science goddess. Charlie de la Cruz, reporter. Together they devise a plan that will take down Keith, win Gaby's respect, and make sure the election is done right. If they can pull it off, it will be remembered as the school's greatest con ever -- one worthy of the name THE GREAT GREENE HEIST.

Sample chapter

After leaving Dr. Kelsey's office, Jackson took a slight detour on the way to study hall. As he walked, he reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his notepad. It hadn't gotten much use over the last four months, but that was about to change.Jackson stopped in front of Charlie's locker. On the paper, he wrote:My house. 4:00 p.m.I have a plan.He slipped the note through a vent in the locker. Then Jackson let his eyes linger on one of Gaby's posters. He could still hear her voice in his head, asking why he kept breaking the rules. Asking why he couldn't keep his promise to be a normal student.He placed his pencil behind his ear and straightened his tie.Now wasn't a time to be normal. Now was a time to be infamous.
