Praise for THE GREAT GREENE HEIST
"It's a thrilling ride that may con reluctant readers into settling
down on the couch with books like THE GREAT GREENE HEIST instead of
the remote control." -- THE NEW YORK TIMES
"It's refreshing to read a story about middle-school life that's
smart, complicated, and funny, with a cleverly constructed plot and
a sweet relationship between a boy and a girl. ... The lively (and
racially diverse) cast of characters and the intricate plot will
make this a story to read again for the sheer fun of it all." --
THE HORN BOOK MAGAZINE, starred review
"The elaborate bait and switch of this fast-paced, funny caper
novel will surprise its readers as much as the victims." -- KIRKUS
REVIEWS, starred review
"Like all entertaining heist tales, THE GREAT GREENE HEIST
assembles a motley crew of characters, each with their own
specialty. . . . Varian Johnson keeps the pace lively and the 'Star
Trek references flying." -- AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN
