Swindle+Question

 For this page put down your question and maybe you will answer it or someone else will.

I wonder if Swindle hates kids?(Kaitlin) I think he doesn't hate kids, he just wanted the rare card(Andy) I think he didn't want to pay for it or tell him that it was rare so he could get the money (Kelly) I think he does not because he did not like it when Griffin and Ben where in his store asking him a ton of questions.(Kaitlin) **Do you thing that Griffin will have to explain to his parents how he got the money, if he does get the card back and sell it?** Will Griffin even have to use the blowtorch at all? And what will he use it on? That is what confuses me. Also, I wonder if Griffin will accidently burn the //card,// if he uses the blowtorch on the safe. (Eray)

I think he will because he can just say someone gave it to me. (Kaitlin)

I think he will keep it a secret that the card was his. This way his parents won't ask him questions that will lead to the truth of where he was. Ethan  He could say he was walking past the old rockford house and he say the card was just laying there and picked it up and sold to help his parents solve their money issue. (Ashley)  Do you think that Griffins parents will get mad at him __if__ they find out the rare baseball card was worth one million dollars and he sold it for one hundred fifty dollars? (Taylor)

I think they will because if Griffin had that in his possession and then sold it for a horrible price, that is a loss of so much. Then his parents would go more into the issue and would find out about the Rockford house and then get in more trouble. (Ethan)   Will Griffin get the baseball card before it is too late that they have to move? {Ashley}  Will Griffin move if he still gets the money from the card if he ever gets the card back?(Taylor) He might move if he does not give his parents the money in time before they move. (Ashley) I wonder why they will need Darren on the team?(Andy)  <span style="display: block; color: rgb(192, 100, 196); text-align: center;"> they might need him on the team to carry the safe out of the store because he is pretty strong{Ashley}

<span style="color: rgb(228, 17, 92);">If Griffen gets the card won't the person he sells it to ask who a kid of his age bought it when Swindle didn't even sell it? (Kelly) <span style="display: block; font-size: 110%; color: rgb(52, 35, 49); font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"> Would Griffin get past the dog and break the code and get into the shop to steal the card? (Ashley)

Usually in these kind of books something bad happens (card stolen) and then the kids plot the plan (Griffins Plan), then something goes wrong and they give up (? Have to read on), and in the last few chapters they go for it (Do the plan)and they wind up happily ever after. But according to what I think is going to happen, he will get past the dog and get the card. (Jack)

Good thinking Jack, do you think this book is going to be as predictable as that? You're right most follow some sort of pattern. (Mrs. C)

I think another bad thing will be that Swindle will find out and Griffin will be busted.(Kelly)

Yes Griffin will get past every thing because the good guys alway win, it happens in every story I've read with a good and a bad side. (Caroline)

I was wondering why they were in the Rockford House in the first place? Plus, if you are going to say, "They wanted to prove to the adults" why would they? They can't. If anybody knows they were in the Rockford house they would get in serious trouble. So if they can't tell anybody, what's the point? (Jack)

Jack, do you think staying in the Rockford House was an odd way to prove that they were adults or that adults can't control their lives? Did they prove their point? What did it show the other kids that did not show up? (Mrs. C)

I do think that the Rockford house was a wierd way to prove to the adults that they were more important than kids because it isn't like the parents know about it so how is it really proving anything. Then it showed the other kids that Griffen and Ben were determined and will stop at nothing to prove their point. (Ethan)

<span style="font-size: 110%; color: rgb(185, 14, 14); font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">If Savannah leaves and does not help them, would she really tell on them for going to steal the card back or is she going to help them still? Would you tell if you were Savannah? Would you tell if one of your friends was in trouble? (Mrs. C)

I //might// tell, because I can't go to sleep if I know something that others don't know. (Eray)

I might tell if i was here because if one of my friends was going to steal a card i would tell an adult about them so they dont do it and get into more trouble then.(Ashley)

I would tell her that I would mail her so then she wouldn't yrll at my face and she would hear the whole story.(Kelly)

I say it depends because if i got in busted then i would be really mad at Griffin and Ben for getting me into whispering to the guard dog but i would do it because if i didnt get busted then i would get a part of the MILLION DOLLARS. (Taylor)

I wouldn't tell. If I was getting a share it would be fine. And if you tell you are pretty much turning down a big offer with a big reward. (Ethan)

I wonder why the dog happend to be gone the night they were going to steal the card and the card wasen't there.(Kelly) <span style="display: block; font-size: 121%; color: rgb(255, 148, 239); font-family: Georgia,serif; background-color: rgb(23, 33, 32); text-align: left;">S. Wendell might of know they will going to come that night because maybe Savannah might have told to S.Wendell and he might take the safe home with him. So Ben and Griffin will follow him home and see the safe in his house so they would need Logan on the team to help them out. {Ashely}

I dont think that Savannah told S.Wendell but i do think that he would of known that Griffin and Ben were going to try to get the rare baseball card back.

(Taylor) <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">i wonder if Darren only wants to be on the team for the money? (Ashley) I don't think so because in the movies the bullys always turn nice.(Kaitlin) <span style="display: block; font-size: 110%; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"> I wonder if Swindle will take the Ticket?(Andy) Yes Andy, he took the ticket. (austin)

I wonder if one of the team members will tattle on them and get the whole team in trouble? (austin)

By what i've read so far, I think that Swindle will go to the hockey game because he is a cruel man, and there is no possible way that he won't take it. (Eray)

I don't really think so because i think they all want part of the money.(Caroline)

Do you think that griffin will end up likeing pitch?(Caroline)

Caroline: i think he might its a fifty~fifty chance?~ Taylor Belongia

How did Darren find out about the ballroom meating because it didnt say in the book that he saw the note but he did find out about the heist and what all happened? ~Taylor Belongia

The book said that he looked over her shoulder maybe he read it then(Brett)

How will they turn off the street light?(Kelly)

why was griffen so up tight about darren being in there hiest?(Alex)

Alex: Maybe because he had made the perfect team he didn't want Darren to ruin it, tattle or something(Brett)

I wonder how the heist will they made it in Swindle's house I wonder if the plan will go as easy as they thought?(Brett)

I wonder if the guy who was will find out it was Cedarville and come inthe middle of the heist?(Brett) Brett, he probably will because Swindle will talk to him and find out that someone was messing with his Email. (Austin)

What I don't understand is who these kids think they are? Do they really think they could pull a heist? They are just kids!? It is very unrealistic. But I guess it's about standing up to adults. I guess that is what makes this book interesting, a world ran by adults but the kids fight back. Very unrealistic, but yet, very interesting. (Jack) I think the kids are over exagerating to what they are doing and I agree with Jack. This is what makes the book interesting. (Ethan) I wonder if Swindle will come back because he forgot something, or because he left early?(andy)

Could someone please put on a link about the upcoming book __Zoo Break,__ I think it was. I am very excited to hear about it! (Eray)

I found this information right after I posted my last comment. //<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Zoobreak // <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> A sequel to Gordon's popular recent title, //Swindle//, Savannah discovers a small floating zoo which is badly mistreating animals, and reassembles the team that stole back the Babe Ruth sports card to try and remedy the situation. This title will be published by Scholastic. Very Interesting! (Eray)

I know there are two look outs but whyt put Ben there if he might fall asleep?(Kelly)

They put him there because which is better him falling alsleep in swindle's house and on the roof :( or him falling alsleep ing a bush:) (Caroline)

About the new and large guard dog: I wonder what the team will have to do to distract it, unleash Darren?!?!? I also wonder if the dog will injure someone in later chapters, like Pitch, (Antonia Benson) because she can't walk. (Eray)

I wonder why Savannah didn't throgh one of the pieces in a different room and close the door because won't the dogs fight again after they are done eating?(Kelly)

Wonder if they will use the smart pick to get the card?(Caroline) I think it said in the book in chapter 25 that they did use the smart pick and it got the card so they were happy because they got what they wanted.(Ashley) For the new bood zoobreak, what would it be about? There possibly couldn't be a second steal. It doesn't make sense. Caroline, I think you may be onto something. The SmartPick isn't really that important in the story, maybe the author mean't to do that to not attract attention making the book too obvious. (Jack)

what chapter do you guys predict the chapter where they get the card to be in and why (like i think that its going to be in chapter 27 because i think other things will happen like they will get caught by the police or they forgot the card in the house somewhere)?(Taylor) <span style="color: rgb(63, 125, 23); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(228, 17, 92); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> <span style="font-size: 120%; color: rgb(52, 35, 49); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; background-color: rgb(0, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128); background-color: rgb(244, 67, 244);"><span style="color: rgb(192, 100, 196); background-color: rgb(223, 119, 119);"><span style="color: rgb(228, 17, 92); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Do you think Griffin will find a way out of this or will he go to jail for stealing the card, i think he will find a a way not to get caught by the police(Ashley) I disagree, the police are very smart and they have very special detectives that can easily track footprints, handprints, etc. I think he will get caught, but I think he won't be sent to prison or "juvie". (Jack) well I can't really say any thing because I finshed the book (did any of you guys)(Caroline) <span style="color: rgb(195, 0, 255); background-color: rgb(3, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 0, 204);">Why did the autor make Darren get the money? <span style="color: rgb(185, 14, 14); background-color: rgb(0, 255, 255);">(Kelly) i dont know because maybe he wanted to make you think it was on person will get the money but then you will never guess that like the school bully will get the money(Ashley) ===<span style="color: rgb(63, 125, 23); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-size: 120%;"><span style="color: rgb(195, 0, 255); background-color: rgb(3, 3, 3);"><span style="color: rgb(185, 14, 14); background-color: rgb(0, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(244, 67, 244); background-color: rgb(3, 3, 3);">Since we finished the book, what did you guys think of the book, <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 204); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I thought it was really good and I like the author of swindle, he writes good books that I would read and in Swindle it made me almost feel like I was in the book.(Ashley)  ===
