Ocean's 11... with 11-year-olds, in a super stand-alone heist caper from Gordon Korman!
After a mean collector named Swindle cons him out of his most valuable baseball card, Griffin Bing must put together a band of misfits to break into Swindle's compound and recapture the card. There are many things standing in their way -- a menacing guard dog, a high-tech security system, a very secret hiding place, and their general inability to drive -- but Griffin and his team are going to get back what's rightfully his . . . even if hijinks ensue.
This is Gordon Korman at his crowd-pleasing best, perfect for readers who like to hoot, howl, and heist.

A Job Well done, this rips up the rule book.Lots of punctuation.And there's lots of replies,questions,thanks,and other forms of speech.I couldn't have done better!
I think that when you start,there is no stop to this amazing book! You get pulled in because of what is happening to all the kids in the start to finish of the story.
Read it five times.
Perfect book for anyone liking adventure and little adult activity. Fun and exhilarating; Swindle rocked my world. Hope you read it too.
awesome book
Intense. I couldn't put it down.
In Swindle by Gordon Korman there is an abandoned house. The rockford house. The kids slept over night there. They wanted the town to turn it into a skate bored park.they woke up to a wreking ball crashing into the house. they found a base ball card on the way out. they broght it to a store and the man be hind the desk gave them 100$. Was that a rip off? I would recommend this book. It will never get boring. there is always something going on. the more you read the better it gets. If you read this one you will want to read the rest of the stories. Have fun reading.
Not too bad. Not too bad.
best book ever
