Swindle "Blizzard Bag"

The kids are making a plan on how to get into the extension so they can get inside of 531 Park Avenue so they are trying to get all the information so that they do not get caught. The kids are trying to get back Griffins Babe Ruth baseball card. The man that said it was a replica and that took it has a heavily guarded home. The guy who Griffin sold the card too gave him 120 dollars then went on TV and sold it for 1,000,000. When Griffin goes to steal the card back he gets caught because the owner of the pawn shop has two dogs. I think that the guy who Griffin sold the card too should have to give Griffin the card or 1,000,000. Also I dont think that it is right for the kids to go steal the card, I think that they should talk to somebody and get help instead of stealing.  If I were in this situation I would not know what to do. I would probably tell an adult that the guy I sold the card too that he scammed me. Then I would hope that he would be responsible and give me the card back and I give him the money.

The Drop Off

In my book Swindle the deliveryman, Griffin had to deliver a very large wood frame that he did not know what was in the frame, to a shop. Griffin had to muster all of his strength to move his giant delivery. After Griffin delivered the item, the shop owner examined it because he did not hear the delivery truck because he was in the back of the shop. The shop owner did not know what it was, he thought it was a life collection of magazines or comic books. This had to be heavy.

The deliveryman and a 11 year old boy were coming up with a plan so that a family in their neighborhood could stay and not have to move. As they were putting the plan together the 11 year old had to get into a box. If the operation was successful the deliveryman and the boy would get to split one million dollars.What I don't understand about this chapter is why the deliveryman and the boy split the million dollars and not give it to the family, if they need financial help.
