Thief of Heaven — Charmaine T. Davis

ONE GIRL. ONE MISSION…STEAL YOUR STUFF. Seventh-grader Witness Everhart harbors a shocking secret -- she loves to steal. Nothing else on Earth gives her the thrill stealing does and she is oh, so good at it. Cell phones, electronic devices, and even pens, disappear in seconds if left anywhere within her reach. One Tuesday while serving time in detention for stealing -- no less -- Witness sees a sight only one person has ever seen -- angels going up and down on a giant ladder in front of her school. After some clever maneuvering, Witness manages to climb the ladder, steal gold from Heaven and escape by the unruly strand of a bushy ponytail. With her mom losing her job and suffering financial and legal woes, Witness believes the gold is the answer to all her problems. Unfortunately, her problems are just beginning… Can Witness steal from God and get away with it?
