Con Academy

By: Joe Schreiber

Narrated by: Michael Hinton

It's his senior year, and Will Shea has conned his way into one of the country's most elite prep schools. But he soon runs into Andrea, a fellow con artist. With the school not big enough for the both of them, they make a bet that whoever can con Brandt Rush, the richest, most privileged student in the school, out of $50,000 gets to stay at the school. Will starts setting up his con (an online poker scam) with his uncle, who's one of the best grifters in the business, and with the unwanted help of his father. The plot thickens as Will starts falling for fellow student Gatsby, and some of Will's lies start to catch up with him. In this twisty tale of scams, secrets, lies, and deception, it's hard to figure out who's conning who.

Critic reviews

"This plot-driven narrative is entertaining and the characters are likable." ( School Library Journal)

Intriguing plot

Great plot with unexpected reverses and superb, believable narration. Most of the characters are well-rounded and even minor characters suit their role in the story.
