Swindle by Gordon Korman

   













I just read Swindle by Gordon Korman. It was really good. It is about a mean collector named S.Wendell Palomino (a.k.a Swindle) who cheats Griffin out of a rare Babe Ruth baseball card.  Griffin gathers a group of friends to try and get the card back.  They plan to pull a heist the night before Swindle sells the card at an auction.  The starting bid is $200,000!  But Swindle has a few suprises up his sleeve.  Read the book to find out what happens next.

  1. Do you think that stealing it back was the right way to get the card back?

  2. Yes, because you can steal something that was already rightfully yours in the first place.

  3. Eli!
    What a great writer you are!

    And how fun it will be for me to keep up with what you are reading.

    How did you get a picture of the book on your review?

    What do you think it is that made you decide to give Swindler 5 stars and the football book 4.5? What made it a little better, do you think?

    Love, Yaya
