Editorial Review:

Product Description:
After a mean collector named Swindle cons him out of his most valuable baseball card, Griffin Bing must put together a band of misfits to break into Swindle's compound and recapture the card. There are many things standing in their way -- a menacing guard dog, a high-tech security system, a very secret hiding place, and their general inability to drive -- but Griffin and his team are going to get back what's rightfully his . . . even if hijinks ensue.

This is Gordon Korman at his crowd-pleasing best, perfect for readers who like to hoot, howl, and heist.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Author Gordon Korman presents some thoughtful moral dilemmas for preteens to consider
When Griffin Bing, "The Man With the Plan," invites some of his buddies to spend the night at the Old Rockford House --- which is reported to be haunted and is slated for demolition the following day --- only his best friend Ben Slovak shows up.

After Ben falls asleep, Griffin is left alone with his thoughts --- and worries. Lately his parents have been talking about selling the house and moving to a less expensive neighborhood. Griffin will do anything to stay in his home and not leave ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Can he return the favor and get it back?
Gordon Korman's SWINDLE tells of Griffin's plans for spooky sleepover in a haunted house, where he discovers a rare Babe Ruth baseball card which could mean millions - until a swindler tricks him out of the card. Can he return the favor and get it back?



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Non-stop reading
The second my 9 year-old son opened the book he could not put it down. VERY age appropriate. He absolutely loved it and after reading it he has told people about the story. We will read everything by this author if it is all as good as this book. Best purchase yet.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Appeals to kids and adults
It's difficult to find a book that entertains the parent reading the bedtime story as well as the child listening. We've found just a few: Charlotte's Web, The Hobbit, and Swindle. We start a lot of books, but one or the other of us lose interest. Swindle was exciting, engaging and had surprising twists.

I'll bet this one gets turned into a movie. (If it does, let's hope it's as good as the book.)



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Borrrrrrrinnnnnnnnnnng
When did Gordon Korman lose it? His last good book was "Son of Interflux" and that was in 1986!!!!

He's been writing these lousy stories, all one after one another and they are all bad.

'Cmon, we all miss the old Gordon Korman magic. Write another B & B book.
