The Chameleon Thief

Overview

‘Even jerks need saving sometimes.’

How far would you go to save your enemy?

Attica Stone has fantastic friends, a great life and a massive problem: her bestie, Jinni Miscamble, suddenly hates her. Attica doesn't know why – but she does know Jinni's done something bad. Really bad. And only Attica can help her deal with the consequences.

Does Jinni want Attica's help? No. Does she need it? Yes. But to save Jinni, Attica will need to pull off a stunt so wild, so daring, that it might just get her kicked out of town…  

Razor-sharp wit, not-quite-right magic tricks and a heist involving the world’s rudest bunnies combine in this irresistible read.
