description: Skip ORourke is dragged into one last con . . . but he doesnt know the cons on him in this funny page-turning debut YA for fans of Winger and Oceans Eleven. Cameron Smith attends an elite boarding school and has just been accepted to Princeton University alongside his beautiful girlfriend Claire. Life for Cameron would be perfect except that Cameron Smith is actually Skip ORourke and Skip ORourke ran away from his grifter family four years agoalong with $100000 of their earnings (because starting a new life is not cheap). But when his uncle Wonderful tracks him down Skips given an ultimatum: come back to the family for one last con or say good-bye to life as Cameron. One last con is easier said than done when Skips family is just as merciless (and just as manipulative) as theyve always been and everyone around him is lying. Skip may have given up on crime but theres one lesson he hasnt forgotten: always know your mark. And if you dont know who your mark is . . . its probably you. Witty and irresistibly readable this standout debut will always keep you guessing.
