Overview
No plan ever goes down without a hitch, not even an artful heist.
While backpacking across Europe, you stop at the Musee d'Art Classique de Lyon in France to catch a glimpse of the famed Girl with the Pearl Earring exhibit. But your vacation jaunt enjoying great works of art suddenly turns into a great escape when a security lockdown is triggered. Now, you, along with your best friend Eric and fellow traveler Darla, are trapped inside the museum with a gang of art bandits. Wind your way through the museum as you try to rescue your friends from danger. Lie your way into the good graces of the criminals and their ring leader, while staying one step ahead. Make the right choices to get you and your friends to safety and bring the thieves to justice, before you get caught-or worse.
An Artful Heist is a humorous caper with unexpected twists and turns.
RECOMMENDED FOR INTERMEDIATE LEVEL LEARNERS TURN OF PHRASE ESL (TOP ESL) is an educational series that teaches English language idioms, phrasal verbs, and collocations in the form of chooseable path novels. The series is designed for intermediate to advanced young adult and adult students. Researchers have long shown that learning in meaningful contexts can help English language learners become more fluent and improve vocabulary retention. TOP ESL books are the ideal learning tool for the classroom or independent study because they are immersive and fun, and unlike other books, they put students right in the driver's seat. The books make use of gamebook-inspired 'decision points.' At every decision point, readers are tested on their understanding of idiomatic expressions or situational contexts. TOP ESL books offer not only a rich source of idiomatic expressions but also meaningful contexts of those expressions in action, and a reading format that will have English language learners hooked with cliffhangers and plot twists. TOP ESL books complement all types of curricula that promote engaged and self-directed learning.
