M. Freeman isn’t your ordinary homeschooled only child. But, when she is accepted into the prestigious Lawless School, she finds out just how different her education has been. The Lawless School is the ultimate school for educating master criminals, and M. finds herself to be a star pupil. Everyone assumes that her parents, themselves honor graduates, told her about Lawless, but they never told her anything. When her first project, a “real-world” heist goes big-time wrong, M must figure out who was the rat and who she can trust, before it’s too late.   (Prepared by:  Mary Cockrell, James Island Middle School, South Carolina Junior Book Award)
