Assessment Based On Books Swindle (Swindle #1)

I read this for my kid's book club. Although it is reasonably well written and paced the plot was hare-brained and immoral. The 'hero' lies with premeditation, steals, gets swindled when he sells his stolen goods, concocts an attempted burglary and then steals again. There are no repercussions, lessons learned or character development. Money is the main motivator for all the characters. It's pretty awful.

A very great book! This book has a lot of author's craft that makes you want to keep reading it! This book is a little bit about crime. A gang of kids try to break in to a person ripped them off (Swindle)'s house. Griffin must be a risk taker. He's the one who took a risk of breaking into a person's house!

Personal Response: I like Swindle by Gordan Korman because I read the summary on the back and it seems like a good book. At the beginning it is kinda boring but it starts to get better the more I read.Plot: Griffin and Ben find an old Babe Ruth baseball card that is worth a lot of money and sell it to a man known as Swindle who owns a collection store. They sell it for a $100. Later they want it back because he lies about how much it is worth. They find out that he is reselling it for a million

When Griffin Bing surprisingly finds an old Babe Ruth baseball card in the about-to-be demolished Rockford Mansion, his first instinct is to determine its worth. That brings him to Palomino's Emphorium of Collectibles and Memorabilia. After Griffin and his friend, Ben make a deal for the card and sell it to S. Wendell (sounds deceptively like swindle, eh?) Palomino for a cool $120, they are disappointed it wasn't worth more. That's when the reality of the situation sets in and Griffin and Ben

Fantastic heist novel that captures an adventurous sense of imagination and the naïve morality of childhood. The mark of a solid middle grade fiction is when the author maintains the reality of the situation (i.e. includes real consequences) in a way that does not invalidate the child's beliefs.

Griffin and his friends find a Rare Babe Ruth Baseball Card. That card is worth one million dollars. S. Wendell tricks him out of the card for little money. They realized they just got swindle and they have to try and get the card back. So he gets some of his friends and enemies and he said he would give them part of the money if they help. They try many ways to get in the house but they can's seem to. They have to find another way to get in the house. Do they get the card or not? I like this
