Con Academy

Con Academy by Joe Schreiber, 236 pages

Will Shea has conned his way into the exclusive Connaughton Academy to find that a con artist is already in residence, Andrea Defresne.  Will likes Andrea’s moxie but he likes being at the comfortable school more. This school is clearly not big enough for the two of them so they set up a contest.  Whoever pulls off the con first gets to stay.  This story had a lot more going on underneath the surface than I anticipated so I was surprised by the ending.  This was a really well crafted story that I enjoyed a lot.  I would give this to teens who like realistic stories that still require you to suspend some disbelief.  Mystery lovers may also like it.
