If I was Korman, I would end it right now, because I feel like it’s starting to get a little long in the tooth. Honestly, though, I’m not too excited for the next book in the series, Jackpot. It’s hard to keep coming up with hit stand-alone books when you reach the fifth book in a series with the same characters. This is a very well written book and another great addition to the series. The ending, where Swindle and his goons confront Griffin and his gang, is a hilarious and captivating tale. Although they are being chased by a criminal, they book is interspersed with the fun personalities of each of the characters and tons of humor. This is far from a serious book throughout. Each member of the gang has their own speciality which allows them to work well together as a team. Pitch is a great climber, and Ben is the small spaces guy and Griffin’s best friend. They eventually hand Luthor to Pitch and Ben. Melissa joined the group because of her impressive computer skills, and Logan because he’s a good actor. After their location is compromised, they switch the dog off to Melissa and Logan. The book starts off with Luthor going with Griffin and Savannah to Camp Ebony Lake. The book is divided into three different sections or hideouts, each one during the time when Luthor is at their respective camp. Swindle sends his goons after each one, and they have to hide the dog from both the attackers and the rest of the camp. Griffin and his friends are all stationed at three different summer camps. Who better to coordinate it than Griffin Bing, the “Man with the Plan.” During this book the kids are away for summer camp, and they have to coordinate an extremely complicated series of plans in order to keep Swindle’s hired goons from taking back the dog. Of course, Savannah isn’t about to let that happen. In this book, Swindle is back, and he wants to take possession of his dog. Luthor is a vicious dog, but Griffin’s friend Savannah is practically an animal whisperer and becomes good friends with him. In the first book, Griffin Bing and his friends confronted an unethical man they nickname “Swindle” who stole a $1.2 million baseball card from them.Īfter exposing Swindle and ruining his shop, they also take his guard dog, Luthor. In Hideout, Korman continues the Swindle Series with another exciting adventure. In fact, the book Swindle was recently turned into a movie by Nickelodeon. Gordon Korman is one of my favorite authors and a very accomplished one, having over 75 titles to his name. Hideoutby Gordon Korman is the fifth and latest book in the super popular Swindle Series.
