Jackson swears he's given up scheming. Then school bully Keith Sinclair announces he's running for student-council president against Jackson's former friend Gaby de la Cruz. Gaby wants Jackson to stay out of it—but he knows Keith has "connections" to the principal, which could win him the presidency no matter the vote count.

So Jackson assembles a crack team that includes tech genius Hashemi Larijani, bankroll Victor Cho, science whiz Megan Feldman, and reporter Charlie de la Cruz. Together they devise a plan to take down Keith, win Gaby's respect, and make sure the election is done right. If they can pull it off, it will be remembered as the school's greatest con ever—one worthy of the name The Great Greene Heist.

Editorial Reviews
"Hand this unique book to kids who like mystery, adventure, and Robin Hood-esque stories."—School Library Journal
"The elaborate bait and switch of this fast-paced, funny caper novel will surprise its readers as much as the victims. They'll want to reread immediately so they can admire the setup."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
