"Honesty, accountability, and family stand out as significant themes in Jack's character development. His all-ace friend group highlights the diversity of identities within the spectrum of asexuality and affirms the fluidity of sexuality. . . . A fast-paced, thrilling diversion."--Kirkus Reviews

"Amid the glittering world of high-stakes Vegas gambling, the author balances suspenseful heist shenanigans with explorations of Jack's personal and family struggles. . . . Hand this Vegas-heist-meets-teen-drama to readers who are looking for breathing space in their adventures, shady ethics, and asexual representation."--School Library Journal

"DeWitt's work bundles the adventures of youthful card sharks with endearing familial ties. . . . The fact that novels like this include gender and sexuality as a complement to the story helps normalize situations teens have long struggled silently with."--School Library Connection

"DeWitt creates a vibe that's Spy Kids by way of Ocean's Eleven in the best way possible. . . . Rat-a-tat dialogue and well-developed relationships between Jack and his friends offer more highlights. . . . Aces Wild is a fast-paced exploration of the risks we take for the people we love."--BookPage

"A thoroughly delightful book to be read over and over."--Booklist

"What a thrilling heist, and a fabulous debut from DeWitt! I had a blast reading this book.

"Aces Wild is the queer heist I've been waiting for! Thrilling, emotional, and downright delightful, this is the book I wish I'd had as a teenager. A fun and satisfying romp!" - Rosiee Thor, author of Tarnished Are the Stars
