Swindle



"Readers will enjoy the page-turning adventure, the quirky characters and the revenge factor. This book is destined to become a favorite read-aloud for librarians and classroom teachers. It is a must-have for middle school libraries." - Children's Literature. Probably this is the best way you can describe the book 'Swindle' by Gordon Korman. 

Plot of the Story: When 6th grader Griffin Bing finds a valuable baseball card and he goes to a shop to sell it. When he gets home he realizes that he has been swindled. The worker who worked there only gave him a fraction of the money it was worth. So Griffin calls some of his friends to steal back the card. And in return they each will split up the money evenly. Now, they have to over smart the swindle. The gang of friends has to overcome an aggressive mean guard dog, state-of-the art military security system and so on. In addition to that the most devastating challenge is they are just 6th graders and cannot DRIVE! Will they be successful or will they give up? To find out read the book. But I have some better news to know about the story; you can watch the movie which will be aired on Nickelodeon Channel. You can find about it HERE.
