Having not read the book yet, I can't say too much. But, the brief synopsis at the Dancing Cat Books website suggests a hilarious book about two teens who foil a robbery and then deal with the video of their feat going viral.

Read the synopsis at Dancing Cat Books website for all the reasons you'll want to get this book!
