Swindle

by Gordon Korman
Carver County Library, audioCD, 4.5 hours
narrated by Jonathan Todd Ross

Students have been raving about this book, so I finally listened to it while doing laundry yesterday. It reminds me a bit of Millions and a few other "kids vs. adults" books. My favorite bit was Logan playing backgammon with Mr. Mulroney. I wondered how Korman would bring the elements together in the end - nice job. Ross' narration was irritating. He gave the kids, especially Ben, particularly whiny, nasal voices.
