SWINDLE
By Cole B. Lucas P. Luke F. Wyatt B. Carmen M.
THE THEME
The theme of Swindle is never giving up. Because when the main character Griffin tries to steal back a Babe Ruth baseball card that is worth millions of dollars he fails. But, he tried a second time and he finally got it so he never gave up.
CHARACTER TRAITS
Griffin is always one step ahead because his friends call him" the man with the plan" because he always rights down a plan that works. Griffin is also brave because he and his friends broke into a house without being scared or afraid. The 3rd character trait is tough because even when he is under extreme pressure he doesn't crack under pressure.
THE CHARACTER CHANGING OVERTIME
The main character Griffin changed in the story because when he planned the robbery he wasn't very nervous at all but when he actually broke into the house he got extremely nervous because he could go to jail.
SETTING
For most of the story the main setting is in Swindles house but also in the book his real name S. Wendell Palomino. The mood is sneaky because for most of the book they are breaking into Swindles store or house.
SUMMARY
One day a boy named Griffin found a baseball card and sold it to a pawn shop for 150 dollars. But he found out that the card was worth millions of dollars. So he planned to go steal it from the shop but didn't get it. So he figured out that it was at Swindles. So he got his friends and they went to steal it back.
RECOMMENDATION
We think that our classmates should read this book because it is action packed and it is a story about a boy trying to get a baseball card worth millions of dollars to stop his parents from selling his house. It is very upbeat to because every time they do a big part of the story something goes wrong and it is they either run from the cops or they figure out the card was in the wrong place.
