Swindle By Connor Carrick

 SWINDLE The book Swindle is a very good one. This book is very good book is good because of the plot, theme, characters ,and setting.It didn't win a newberry medal or any medal , although I say it should!!

The plot of this book is good. Griffin Bing and his friend Ben Slovak slept at a very old house that was due to be destroyed the next morning.While in the house, Griffin Bing had found a very valuable Babe Ruth baseball card which could be sold at a price of $974,000 , making it the second most valuable sports collectible in history .When Griffin goes to sell his claimed Babe Ruth baseball card a collecter called Swindle because of his name (a.k.a S.Wendell Palomino) told Griffin that it was a copy of the origional card and bought the card from Griffin for less than half than it's worth.At least two days later Griffin discovers that Swindle had ripped him off.So Griffin put together a team of kids from his schooll to get the claimed baseball card back.There names are Logan Kellerman,Antonia Benson also known as Pitch,Melissa Dukakis, Savannah Drysdale and Benjerman Slovak.Also another name had to be added to the list beacuse he was listening in on there plan.That name was Darren Vader.So they set out on there hiest.If you want to find out any more about the story then read the book!

The charachters are the most important part of this story.Griffin Bing makes this story execellent because he's the man with the plan.Ben Slovack is very imporant because he puts a couple of problems in the story.All the charachters are important because they either cause a problem or a solution. That's most of the reason that the story is good.For instance Griffins' dad causes a promblem and a solution in the story.The problem was that Griffins' dad walked in on Griffin and Bens' hiest conversation and accidently gave them the code to the alarm system.

The setting takes place in a little town called Cedarville.The setting makes it a lot harder for the heist to succeed!

As you can see I like this book very much!!You should read this book!!
