Heist edition by Laura Pauling Children eBooks
I’m 73, certainly no longer a young adult, but I was hooked on this book. I’ve been a big fan of time travel novels since reading Jack Finney’s “Time and Again.” What made Heist different was the unintended consequences of Jack’s repeated trips to the same time in the past to attempt to change the event that put his dad in prison. I found myself putting off things I should be doing to read Heist.Product details

Heist edition by Laura Pauling Children eBooks Reviews
Agree with other readers that the book is a lot of fun, a very good take on the "Groundhog Day" genre--but I think my fave bit is how one of its versions of St. Patty's Day turns one the ethical question of the scapegoat is it acceptable for one person to suffer horribly, if it means everyone else gets to have their best lives, in exchange? (And for anyone else who was similarly delighted, give Ursula K. LeGuin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" a read.)
Jack Brodie, or Fiasco, the main character, is a young boy of sixteen with the weight of the world riding on his shoulders. He is trying to save his Dad who is in jail for being involved in the Gardner heist in 1990. But it is 2013. What can Jack do to fix his Dad's past mistakes? Jack has a unique ability to time travel through the art itself. It's not enough he is going through the normal trauma of being a teenager, he's also trying to get his Dad out of jail by time traveling, and each time he does his world is hurled into chaos. I'm not even sure how Laura Pauling pulled this off, but she did. What a ride. I was exhausted by the time I finished reading this plot turner. Good read. I recommend this book to all readers of every age.
I loved this book and have already recommended it to friends. The theft at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has always fascinated me and to read a book with that mystery as the focal point was the initial draw. I figured at the very least I would get another theory about the theft, and I was on my way to Boston to visit the museum again, anyway. It didn't disappoint me at all! 16 year old Jack Brodie has to make decisions that would be more that many adults could handle, and you hope that he doesn't lose his heart's desire by making the wrong choice. He sees how the actions of one person can affect not only his own future, but the lives of others, and he struggles with what he wants and with the cost. And yes, the theft is at the heart of it all.
again, again and again, time traveling to the same day, making different choices, affecting the future in a totally different way, one boy is caught between saving his father from jail and a new girl he just met but feels deeply about.
Life altering choices, with always the feeling of having made the wrong choice for our hero.
Playing God in judging and condemning an outcome.
What if we had the possibility to act like him, and mold fate just by returning to the same date and acting differently?
HEIST is another type of adventure, very different from what I have previously read in many literature genres. I can't even say if I liked it, but it kept my attention riveted after the initial shock, and I ended up with so many questions I haven't found the answers to yet.
This book surprised me. The writing was absolutely fabulous and flawless. The author presented her own style, her own voice, which I loved from page 1. About halfway through, I literally couldn't stop reading, picking it up frequently throughout the rest of the day ) The overall story was well-developed, and really fun to read. I had no trouble keeping track of when and where Jack was. I loved the development of his character overall, and his character was believable and realistic. The boy's life spirals out of control the more he travels through time, and it can be sad at points in the story line. A good book makes you think about life, it makes you feel emotions, good and bad, and it leaves you wondering long after you're done reading. I think this story accomplishes all of that.
I was lucky enough to receive an advanced readers copy of this book. Pauling does a great job of creating an edgy time travel around the Gardner Museum Art Heist in Boston, with characters I really cared about and rooted for.
A Southie, named Jack Brodie, is certain his father is not the criminal everyone thinks he is. After a failed parole hearing, Jack is transported back to the Gardner Museum (via a painting) to the night of the theft. Realizing he has an opportunity to save his family from a lifetime of regret, Jack changes history.
But it doesn't work. Everything is worse.
He returns again, and again, in the vein of The Butterfly Effect, attempting to set everything right for his friends, his family and his girlfriend.
Full of hope and promise, HEIST is a story about love, life, and choices.
This book is suitable for readers 12 and up, due to language and mild violence.
I love how this story weaves the history of the Gardner Museum heist with it's stolen masterpieces around a troubled boy from south Boston and the choices he makes in the world he lives in. Pauling gives a dark story lots of heart and hope and leads the reader through an adventure of discovery with twists that keep you turning the page. A great read!
I was oh so wrong to judge this book on preconceptions. Went into it skeptical, since I'm not that big on young adult, pretty down on any type of romance, and a lot of time travel fiction strikes me as pretty cheesy. I was, however, interested in the fact that the story revolves around the Gardner museum theft, since I actually visited the museum before it happened (and again afterwards).
That being said, I still didn't expect to find myself so caught up in the story. Not going to recap it here, but just want to say what really got to me was Jack's empathy and compassion, not just for his friends, his parents, his new love interest, but also even for a classmate who'd been seriously bullying him.
While the time travel premise itself got a bit confusing toward the end, what I took away from the book was a feeling of acceptance, even embracing of life's messiness, and the hope that, while nothing can ever be made perfect, it can at least be made better, and that without the aid of any special "magic".
I’m 73, certainly no longer a young adult, but I was hooked on this book. I’ve been a big fan of time travel novels since reading Jack Finney’s “Time and Again.” What made Heist different was the unintended consequences of Jack’s repeated trips to the same time in the past to attempt to change the event that put his dad in prison. I found myself putting off things I should be doing to read Heist.
