Just read "Frindle," now reading "Swindle." What is the likelihood of that?!
This book was so much fun. It's a middle-school heist of giant proportions, as Griffin Bing and his friends of differing skills (computer hacking, climbing, dog whispering) conspire to steal back a valuable Babe Ruth baseball card for which they were underpaid by shady pawn shop owner S. Wendell "Swindle" Palomino. Some very interesting twists that kept my biting my nails till the end. Boys will love it. I didn't even try to track my many favorite snarky/witty lines, but Korman is great with dialogue.
