2024 Rainbow Book List
Adiba Jaigirdar, author of one of Time's Best YA books of all time, gives Titanic an Oceanโs 8 makeover in this nail-biting heist set onboard the infamous ship.
Josefa is an unapologetic and charismatic thief who loves the thrill of the chase. She has her eye on her biggest mark yetโthe RMS Titanic, the most luxurious ship in the world. But she isnโt interested in stealing from wealthy first-class passengers onboard. No, sheโs out for the ultimate prize: the Rubiyat, a one-of-a-kind book encrusted with gems thatโs worth millions.
Josefa canโt score it alone, so she enlists a team of girls with unique talents: Hinnah, a daring acrobat and contortionist; Violet, an actress and expert dissembler; and Emilie, an artist who can replicate any drawing by hand.
They couldnโt be more different and yet they have one very important thing in common: their lives depend on breaking into the vault and capturing the Rubiyat. But careless mistakes, old grudges, and new romance threaten to jeopardize everything theyโve worked for and put them in incredible danger when tragedy strikes.
While the odds of pulling off the heist are slim, the odds of survival are even slimmer...
Perfect for fans of Stalking Jack the Ripper and Girl in the Blue Coat, this high-seas heist from the author of The Henna Wars is an immersive story that makes readers forget one important detailโthe ship sinks.
