ONE LAST JOB

Michael has been getting into trouble on the street, and now his mom is making him look after his grandfather for the summer. The thing is, Gramps is a retired burglar with a lifetime of criminal knowledge. When a thief breaks into Gramps' apartment and steals a necklace with great sentimental value, the unlikely pair team up to track down the necklace—and try to steal it back.

Reviews

“Full of suspense and has a fast-moving plot, all packaged in its relatively short page length. The book is short, but not simplistic, and the content and themes are age-appropriate for teens. Highly Recommended.” CM: Canadian Review of Materials

“Short sentences, generous line spacing, and amped-up pacing combine to ease reluctant teen readers into this tongue-in-cheek caper…A clever variation on the theme of intergenerational connections.” Kirkus Reviews
