"A group of teens hatch a plan to save their financially distressed school by robbing the Philadelphia Mint in this fast-paced adventure...Ludwig's exciting storytelling and some romantic subplots maintain intrigue throughout." ? Publishers Weekly
"Jackpot! Smartly plotted, morally fascinating, and featuring the most engaging crew of prep school outlaws, Elisa Ludwig's COIN HEIST is a heist story with heart." ? Diana Renn, author of Tokyo Heist and Latitude Zero
"The voices of the characters are distinctive... diverse representing a realistic group of teens. Coin Heist plays with some recognizable conventions of heist novels but adds in a few twists of its own. A fast paced, fun summer read not to be missed." ? Hypable
"COIN HEIST is indeed a tale of an epic break-in at the Philadelphia Mint. But that's only half the story. The other half is a touching coming-of-age story and the third half is a wonderful character study of teenage life in America as it's lived now. Look, maybe I'm not good at math and maybe three-halves is impossible. Or maybe COIN HEIST is just that good." ? Josh Berk, Edgar Award finalist and author of The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin and Guy Langman: Crime Scene Procrastinator
