"Frankie Lorde and her dad have been a team for as long as Frankie can remember. Being tutored under the man responsible for some of the world's biggest heists has given Frankie a unique perspective on the world. And a special set of life skills. Frankie can spot an FBI agent in a second. Pick a lock in two seconds. Steal a Bugatti in three. Then dad is arrested. Frankie is sent to live with her uncle, who she barely knows, and is, ironically a cop. Now Frankie has to go to middle school, learn what suburban kids wear and eat. But also ironically, Frankie is in Greenwich, Connecticut, one of the richest towns in America. Seeing the stark difference between the super rich and the super not rich who support the community gives Frankie an idea. How to use her skills for doing good, to even the score"--Provided by publisher.

"Emily Charlton, former assistant to Miranda Priestly, is now an image consultant in Hollywood, but recently she's lost a few clients. She lands Karolina Hartwell, the client of a lifetime: a mega-supermodel and the wife of the newly elected senator from New York, Graham, who also has his eye on the presidency. Then Karolina is arrested for a DUI-- with a Suburban full of other people's children. Emily and Karolina work with their mutual friend, former lawyer turned Greenwich stay-at-home-mom Miriam. Together, they navigate the social landmines of America's favorite suburb on steroids, revealing the truths--and the lies--that simmer just below the glittering surface"--OCLC.
