(2) 4-6 To raise money for school, Bernetta works with new friend Gabe on small-scale con jobs. Opening each chapter with a definition from a magician's playbook, Graff successfully diverts readers' attentions in order to spring several surprises along the way. She never really punishes Bernetta for her misdeeds, instead bringing her to a new understanding of what is important in life.
