Review by Leo M., 6th Grader
Swindle, by Gordon Korman, is a realistic fiction book. It is filled with action and a little bit of mystery. When Griffin and his friend Ben find a unique baseball card, they think it will be the answer to a huge problem they have. See, Ben might have to move from his hometown and his friends, but maybe the money from the sale of this unique card might help his family out enough so they won't have to move.
They decide to take the card to a shop to sell it, which they do, for $120.00. Then they see the guy who bought it from him on TV, being interviewed. He's talking about how the card is worth a lot of money and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. This makes the boys realize that they need to pull off the ultimate heist.
Will they get back what's truly theirs, or does S. Wendell get away with swindling an eleven year old kid out of an incredibly valuable card?
