A Million to One by Adiba Jaigirdar

约瑟法是一个不折不扣的、有魅力的小偷,她喜欢追逐的快感。她盯上了她最大的目标–泰坦尼克号,世界上最豪华的船。但她对偷取船上富有的头等舱乘客的东西不感兴趣。不,她要的是终极大奖:Rubiyat,一本镶嵌着宝石的独一无二的书,价值数百万。

约瑟法不可能独自得到它,所以她招募了一队具有独特才能的女孩。Hinnah是一个大胆的杂技演员和柔术师;Violet是一个演员和拆字专家;Emilie是一个艺术家,可以用手复制任何图画。

他们有很多不同之处,但他们有一个非常重要的共同点:他们的生命取决于闯入金库和夺取Rubiyat。但是,粗心大意的错误、旧日的怨恨和新的恋情威胁着他们为之奋斗的一切,并在悲剧发生时将他们置于难以置信的危险之中。

虽然完成抢劫的几率很小,但生存的几率就更小了……

Adiba Jaigirdar, author of one of Time‘s Best YA books of all time, gives Titanic an Ocean’s 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 yet–the RMS Titanic, the most luxurious ship in the world. But she isn’t interested in stealing from wealthy first-class passengers onboard. No, she’s out for the ultimate prize: the Rubiyat, a one of a kind book encrusted with gems that’s worth millions.

Josefa can’t 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 couldn’t 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 they’ve 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…
