Klepto

by Lori Weber

Overview

It seems like Kat's parents have done little but prepare for her sister Hannah's return since she was sent away to a home for troubled teens. Everyone is determined to find out what went wrong with Hannah and make things right again -- everyone except Kat, that is.
Kat dreads going back to a life dominated by her sister's tantrums and rule-breaking. The only place she feels in control these days is at the mall, where everything she wants is at her fingertips and no one is better at the art of stealing. As the time of Hannah's return approaches, Kat's shoplifting escalates into a full-blown addiction. Klepto is a powerful story from a talented new writer for teens.

Editorial Reviews

"Weber sensitively explores themes of family dysfunction, belonging, and control in a well-written and insightful manner. Her novel is a quick, entertaining and thought-provoking read that will stimulate discussion among adolescents."

Montreal Review of Books

"...an interesting psychological novel of the stresses that some teenagers face and how they deal with these pressures... It deals with themes of peer pressure, being less than popular, and being a member of an imperfect family unit, all themes to which teens can relate. Weber has done a good job of creating a plot with many aspects that tie together neatly and realistically. Recommended."
