What I like about Swindle is how the friends have sent an invitation to the old Rockford house at eight thirty pm.So their friends could sneak out of their houses. and the kids find a 1999 Babe Ruth card that's worth 1,000,000 dollars . I thought that was cool.Its kind of scary that the guy said he killed his wife with train tracks but the kid said it wasn't true. He didn't believe what his friend said.His friend was not actuly telling the truth. If you want find out more you should read Swindle its really an interesting book.

I read "Swindle" by Gordon Korman. It was a great book because as you got deeper into the book, the tension builds up in your body just waiting to know what's going to happen next. Ben and Griffen are best friends. Griffen is the "man with the plan." S. Windle Palomino is the owner of Palomino's Emporium. Griffen and Ben camped out at the old deserted Rockford house. Griffen found a Babe Ruth baseball card and almost got smashed by a wrecking ball. The card is worth one million dollars. Swindle cheated them and only paid them $160.00. When the boys realized they had been cheated, they set out to get the card back. You'll have to read the book to find out the exciting ending. Anna. Mrs. Wayne.
