Swindle by Gordon Korman

The book, Swindle by Gordon Korman is about a kid named Griffin. Griffin seems to have a plan for every situation, until now when he is cheated of nearly a million dollars by the owner of an emporium, Mr. Palomino. Suddenly, the man with the plan doesn’t have a plan. But with the help of the best tools he has, he is determined to teach Mr. Palomino a lesson. Adults may have the smarts, but the kids have the ideas. Ideas to take back what is theirs.

But during the mission, something happens that could turn Griffin’s plan upside-down. The following is an excerpt from the book, “Griffin removed the card from the Ziploc and held it lovingly. ‘This is the greatest moment of my life.’ ‘Yeah, mine too!’ Darren snatched the prize out of his hand and ran for the front door. ‘Sayonara, suckers!’ It was so shocking, so unexpected that the team just stood there, openmouthed, and watched him go. Then, in total wild action — a stampede in hot pursuit. Even Pitch was running full tilt and limping through her pain. Griffin led the charge. Of all the things he’d planned for, all the in case ofs and what ifs, how could he overlook the most obvious possibility — a double cross from one of his own people? Especially, Darren, who had always been an enemy and an untrustworthy jerk. But what a price to pay for one mistake.” To find out what happens to Griffin, read Swindle, by Gordon Korman to find out.
