When Griffin Bing's class goes to a floating zoo, they don't expect to see animals being treated so badly. They don't expect to find Cleo, Dog Whisperer Savannah's pet monkey who's been missing for weeks. And they really don't expect to have to hide the animals once they've rescued them! Hilarity ensues as Griffin's team once more pulls off a heist...trying to break the animals back into a (better) zoo!

I didn't like Zoobreak quite as much as Swindle, but not because Korman did anything wrong in this book. Zoobreak was mostly a repeat of the formulas used in the first book, so the story and characters were just fresher in Swindle. I don't see this as a negative per- say. I love authors who put out a whole bunch of very similar works, especially high-interest/low-level books. Kids can discover and then devour a series, ripping through tons of books without realizing how much reading they're actually doing. So while I don't feel the need to read the rest of the seven book series, I am really glad they exist.

The animal mishaps were fun, and I did think the ending was sweet. ( )

Griffin Bing is known as the Man with a Plan, so when his friend's stolen monkey is discovered in a floating zoo, Griffin and his friends devise a plan to steal her back. The only problem is that they have no idea what to do with the other 40 animals they released

I liked the responsible parenting demonstrated in this novel. How refreshing! ( )
