Book Description

January 1, 2012 8 and up Swindle740L (What's this?)
The fourth SWINDLE book, centering around a dog show that goes horribly awry!

The heroes of SWINDLE, ZOOBREAK, and FRAMED are back - and this time, things have gone to the dogs! When Luthor goes berserk at a mall dog show, he's accused of ruining the career of the three-time best-in-show beagle. Griffin always knew that Luthor's viciousness was simmering just below the surface - so why does he feel bad enough to spring him from the pound?

Griffin and his team have a new plan. This one involves New York City, a sinister saboteur, a reclusive dog-trainer who's quit the business, an international dog show, and a whole lot of red dye. But if they pull it off, no one will even notice their sting operation...right?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

When Savannah takes her huge, lumbering Doberman, Luthor, to see a champion dog show, it proves to be an ill-conceived move. Luthor causes a stage to collapse, injuring the three-time national champion, and resulting in a massive lawsuit against Savannah’s parents. Fortunately, Griffin Bing, the “Man with the Plan,” is on hand. Griffin and his friend Ben rescue Luthor from the pound and, unlikely as it seems, turn him into a champion show dog. The plot—which combines elements of farce and mystery—is entertaining and features the same characters as Korman’s three previous Man with the Plan books. Grades 3-6. --Todd Morning

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book. November 3, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This was a good book for late elementry and middle school aged kids. Dear 'A kid,' Really????? Get a grip. Do you really expect the author to go back and fact check every single sentence he/she writes??? This is a FICTIONAL STORY. Not a how-to-enter-your-dog-in-a-dog-show manual!!! And if she did follow your guidelines, It would not be much of a book. They had no papers or proof of parents, so the book would end right there. Wow!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great story about "the man with a plan" August 26, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
My young neighbor introduced me to this series since we have a common love of dog books. The stores are very multi-dimentional, and cover lots of issues faced by kids from school to families to friendships. Issues are presented and resolved in an appropriate and understandable manner. I use these books for my middle and lower level high school tutoring students - they will read these!
