I really liked this book for several reasons. I know there are arguments that the characters and plot aren't developed, lack resolution, and fall flat for many reasons. If you're not looking for something amazingly deep, though, this is a fun read.
Not many high school students would think to rob the Franklin Mint, but Alice, Jason, Dakota, and Benny do. They're forced to think everything through to the last minute, drafting and redrafting their plans. Things go horribly awry (as these things are wont to do), but they all band together to figure out the next steps.
Things don't end perfectly. There are issues that haven't even begun to be resolved. But the narration and writing are strong, the characters are engaging, and the entire concept is fun. Coin Heist by Elisa Ludwig is worth the read.
4 out of 5 stars.
