This is a very well written story and yet another awesome addition in the series. The ending, in which Palomino and his hired henchmen go face to face with Griffin and his friends, is a hilarious and captivating tale. Even though Griffin and his friends are being chased by a criminal, Hideout is interspersed with the enjoyable personalities of each of the members of the group and tons of comedy. Each and every person in the gang has their own individual speciality which enables them to operate together as a team. Pitch is an outstanding climber, and Ben can fit into small spaces and is a great friend of Griffin’s. Luthor eventually ends up in the hands of Pitch and Ben. Melissa became a member of Griffin’s gang as a consequence of her extremely impressive computer capabilities, and Logan was recruited on account of his skills of being a good actor. After their whereabouts is compromised, they switch the canine over to Melissa and Logan. The book starts with the mutt stowing away with Griffin and Savannah to their summer camp. Hideout is divided into three different portions or hideouts, each of them focused on in the period that the mutt is being housed at their respective camp. Palomino sends his goons after each one, and they have to hide the mutt from both the attackers and the rest of the camp. Griffin and his gang are all stationed at three different camps.

There is no person better to coordinate it than Griffin Bing, the “Man with the Plan.” At the time of this adventure the kids are away for camp, and they are forced to organize an enormously involved series of plans just to keep Swindle’s hired henchmen from stealing back the dog. Surely, Savannah is not about to just let that happen. In this exciting adventure, Palomino is back once again, and he intends to take back possession of Luthor. Luthor is a vicious hound, but Griffin’s close friend Savannah is pretty much an animal whisperer and becomes pals with the mutt. Īfter exposing Swindle and forcing him to close down his shop, they also take his guard dog, Luthor. In Swindle, Griffin Bing and his buddies faced an unkind guy who they dub “Swindle” who swindled a baseball card worth $1.2 million from their hands. In Hideout, Korman keeps the Swindle Series rolling with yet another exciting adventure. In fact, the story Swindle was a short time ago made into a motion picture by Nickelodeon. Gordon Korman may be my favorite kids author and a highly accomplished one, possessing over 75 books to his credit.

Hideout by Gordon Korman is the fifth and most recent addition in the tremendously well known Swindle Series.
