Swindle Audiobook

" "Swindle" is a phenomenal work of fiction for young adults. It is an easy read, which tells the story of Griffin, a boy living in a small town, who happens upon a rare Babe Ruth baseball card. When he attempts to sell the card, he gets swindled. Upon learning that he was hoodwinked, he conjures up a plan to steal the baseball card back. In the process, he makes some new friends, learns that some plans don't always work the first time, and that perseverance is a great quality to possess. In the end, it all works out. The book is filled with action, great realistic dialogue between middle school students, and likable characters with whom we can easily relate. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick, entertaining read. You won't be disappointed. "

" Great story. I read this one out loud to my class and it was a page-turner! "

" I loved this book. I can totally see why it won the Black Eyed Susan Award last year. It is an awesome and empowering book for 4,5, and 6th graders. "

" The first epic book in the series which I think is the best and its about a kid who wants his baseball card back and attempts a breaking and entering. Find out more? READ IT! "

" This was a fun surprise. I never read the synopsis on the back, had no idea what it was about. Actually thought it was going to be a story about a dog, based on the cover. But, the opening grabbed me right away and I enjoyed the entire book. Lots of good twists to keep me interested with a variety of characters. Good solid writing and well structured. Nothing to get me really thinking or tug at my heartstrings, but I do recommend it as a quick, easy, and enjoyable read. "

" its was allright but also dissipointing i mean at some point it would be like, "well there a bunch of kids and how are they dooing this and all these big things its amazing", and at the same time there were relly good part that like just blew my minde "

" it was a good book "

" Great young adult book. I think boys and girls will like it. "

" Swindle is a really good book. The cover gives the book the wrong idea, in my opinion. I mean, the book has very little to do with the dog on the cover. (That's the only reason why I got this book) It is still cool. "

" It was good book i couldn't even put it down! "

" Do you know how it feels to be cheated? Well, ask Griffin as he put together a whole group of kids to get HIS CARD back, which was rightfully his!! "

" What an amazing ride, it was like Oceans 11 for sixth graders! I loved it, was on page 20 but by the end of the afternoon I was done because I couldn't put it down! I highly recommend this books to adults and children alike, especially children in middle school...BTW this book contains 252 pages "

" Look out when you try to trick a 12 year old! "

" This was surprisingly good. I expected it to be really stupid, but I found it funny and attention capturing. I wished it lasted more than 2 hours though.... : D "

" I've had a spot in my heart for this author since he visited my elementary school 25 years ago. I can't wait to share his books with my kids (especially Bruno and Boots) This was a fun outing. Definitely a good older elementary school book. "

" this is a good book. It's about this guy who stole something from these kids, and when this guy is not at his house the kids try to sneak into his house,but they have to go past a bunch of security dogs and alarms. To avoid all that they go in through a hole on the roof. "

" pretty good, ending was sappy though "

" I thought this was one of the best books I have ever read I love how funny their plans and schemes are to get the million dollar baseball card back. The characters are always hopefull to get "

" Didn't think I was going to enjoy this book as much as I did. This is a book that I would recommend to any struggling reader. It is high interest, hard to put down novel. Both boys and girls alike will be able to connect to the characters and situations in this book. "

" This book is a good read if you like suspense. It had me on the edge of my seat every page...it was great. "

" WOW! I thought that it was so cool how these kids could pull something so big off! I mean, if MY baseball card was stolen, then I would just leave it at that.But these kids break into a mans house! an amazing book, great for people who like adventures and a little bit of suspence. "

" this is one of the few books I can read over and over! I loved it! "

" Reread... but now I'm gonna read the rest of the series! "

" This book is about Griffin and his friend Ben. When Griffin gets tricked into seling a baseball card worth million for $120, He and his friends plan to make a burglary but afterwards the cops come. Great book like anything written by Gordan Korman "

" Good kid book.I thought it had a good story. "

" The writer has a pathological fear or perhaps hatred of the word "said." I couldn't get excited about it and its ambiguous moral message and its lack of any meaningful suspense. My kids didn't even really get into it. "
