Books like Klepto (Sidestreets) by Lori Weber


After Hannah Polk, Kat’s older sister, is sent to a home for troubled teens, the Polk family rallies to bring her back and mend their fractured dynamic. Kat, meanwhile, finds refuge in the anonymity of the mall, mastering the art of shop‑lifting to avoid the chaos her sister brings home. As Hannah’s return looms, Kat’s thievery escalates into a full‑blown kleptomania, threatening to upend the family’s attempts at healing. This story follows Kat’s inner struggle, the tension between familial loyalty and personal compulsion, and the challenge of confronting addiction under the watchful presence of a sibling who once was the center of their universe.
