My name is Danielle. I'm eighteen. I've been stealing things for as long as I can remember. Dani has been trained as a thief by the best—her mother. Together, they move from town to town, targeting wealthy homes and making a living by stealing antique silver. They never stay in one place long enough to make real connections, real friends—a real life. In the beach town of Heaven, though, everything changes. For the first time, Dani starts to feel at home. She's making friends and has even met a guy. But these people can never know the real Dani—because of who she is. When it turns out that her new friend lives in the house they've targeted for their next job and the cute guy is a cop, Dani must question where her loyalties lie: with the life she's always known—or the one she's always wanted.

“This is a book about a girl named Dani who goes around the US stealing silver with her mom. When she reaches Heaven, everything changes when she makes friends with a girl Allison and falls in love with a guy named Greg. But what will happen when Allisons family is who her mother is targeting next and Greg turns out being a cop? I personally enjoyed this book because the guy was really hot and you always wanted to know what would happen next.”

“18-year-old Danielle and her single mom make their living and their life by going from town to town stealing antique sterling silver. In the town of Heaven, Danielle finally begins makes friends and a young policeman is interested in her. She begins to feel at home in Heaven and is finding it difficult to steal from her new friends. Dani begins to question her loyalties in this very engrossing young adult novel. I wanted to hurry home to keep reading.”

“Dani and her mother have been make a living by burglary they have been doing it around the country their whole lives. Dani has never had a normal life her and her mother always pack up and move so she doesn't have friends, or go to school. Danielle actually makes new friends in Heaven where they moved.. but only so her and her mom can steal from them in the end. This book is full of mystery and drama, the whole time your heart is pounding because every house they rob you think they will get caught, they never get caught but on the way back home from a burglary they get pulled over and their car gets searched. They both go to jail, and she sees her crush. Because he is a police officer he becomes disappointed in Dani. ”

Yes | No“This book is about a 18 year old girl named Danielle who's life is based on criminal activity with her mother (stealing) and not settling down in a place and calling it home. Dani (her nickname) has never gone to school nor had a normal teenager or even childhood life like everyone else. When she and her mother move to a town called Heaven, things start to change. Instead of fallowing her mothers "rules" on their stealing lifestyle, she gets to know a girl named Allison who takes her in as a friend. She also finds her love interest named Greg who ends up being a cop. Now Dani has to choose which lifestyle she wants to be in, obeying her mother and stay in the life she has always known or the "normal" life which she never had.

From reading the beginning it was moving quite fast but Stealing Heaven's okay. I have to say, i prefer reading books that are like how Nicholas Sparks writes about. but you may like Stealing Heaven...”
