ReplyDeleteSwindle was so good it is so funny,hysterical,and enjoying.
I think this was a good book because Ben and Griren will trick S. wendall with all the games so if he gets board with one game he will play with a nother one. I hope the boys get the card back from S. Wendall .
ReplyDeleteI loved the book!!! It had such amazing detail and such a good storyline! I love amazing mystery and scheme books!I think I'm going to vote for the book!

ReplyDeleteIf you like action you will like swindle.
ReplyDeleteThis is an action packed book so if you are into action this book will be perfect for you. First he is sleeping over in an old house then he finds a million dollar baseball card. At least that's what the owner of the rare comic collectibles shop says. When the boy who found the card realizes what he told them is a lie him and his friend try to steal it. Thing get complicated and they end up not getting it back. Now with a new and more advanced team they end up getting the card. Then after all they went though to get it they might lose it.
ReplyDeleteI think swindle was ok.If you decide to read this book it is about how these kids go in a house that is about to get demolished so they get this great idea to sleep in it.Then as they were exploring they find a babe ruth card.They go to a shop that buys baseball cards and collectables.The owner lies and tells them it isn't worth much.So later they find out it was vauluble so they try to steal it back.If you like books with adventure read it!
