Swindle

SwindleBOOK NAME: Swindle
AUTHOR: Gordon Korman

Hi, it's Reed again. I'm going to tell you about a book called Swindle.

It started when Griffin and Ben had a sleepover at the old house. Griffin found a Babe Ruth card (by the way, Babe Ruth is one of the all-time best baseball players ever!). The card was worth millions of dollars, but he didn't know that. He knew the card would be worth some money, but didn't realize how much! It would help his family be able to keep their house.

He goes to a card store and a cashier tells him that it's worth $120.00. Griffin says "fine." Griffin never knew that the cashier cheated him.

You have to read the rest to find out if he gets the card back or if he gets millions of dollars or if he doesn't. I'll give you a hint: there's a lot of police, a robbery, and a dog chase.

This book is for 8 and 9 year olds. I hope you read the book because it has a lot of twists and turns. I read it so fast that my brain was full of facts. It's a good action book. If want this book you can go to Barnes and Noble. I hope you read it!
