I loved this book. Though a Juvenile rating, it was interesting and held my attention and I could hardly wait to finish and see what happened at the end. I recommend all to read.

I love Gordon Korman's humor and wit. My book club at school chose this as our selection and we often laugh as we read-- nice at the end of a long day at school.

Very cute. Funny. Reminded me of The Sandlot. Would make. Great movie.

I'm sure this is good, but my 9-year-old and I skimmed it and it just isn't for us. He likes dogs; I like dogs -- but we're just not into baseball. Maybe another time Mr. Korman.

My darling daughter recommended this book to me when she was in grade school. She's now in college. Finally I got around to reading it! It's a fun heist story with some gutsy, smart kids involved. Never underestimate kids.

This book really did remind me of Ocean's 11. Our main character Griffin has a predicament that his solution to that may not be the most legal. He needs a talented team to help him pull off his magnificent plan and he picks from his 11-year old classmates. From beginning to end this book kept me hooked. It's a nice quick story for anyone who likes a little crime-thriller, oh and dogs! Yay Luther!
