City of Saints & Thieves by Natalie C. Anderson

4.0

Lately I have been reading a lot of what I would call "caper" books for middle school/high school readers. This book is my favorite so far. Set in Kenya, Tina is a young girl living with a street gang. She plans to use the gang to seek revenge on the man who killed her mother. Complications and twists ensue. The action was only slightly unbelievable. The Kenyan/Congo locations were unfamiliar to me and thus really interesting.
