Framed

Griffin Bing is in big trouble this time -- because of his past escapades, the police and a judge simply don't believe he is innocent when a super bowl ring owned by the school is swiped from its locked trophy case and replaced with his retainer. His attempts to clear his name, with his friends helping, only serve to get him sent to Jail for Kids (juvenile detention school) with, ultimately, an ankle bracelet to make sure he limits his movements to his home and school. Luckily his friends are either amazingly smart with computers, unnaturally good with wild animals, incredibly adept at climbing, or simply small enough to squeeze into tiny places that no one else can fit into. While this didn't grab me like so many other books do, it did show more make a bunch of middle school kids into kids who can outthink and outmaneuver the adults who can't seem to see the forest for the trees. show less

All Griffin wants to do is find his missing retainer before his parents discover he has lost it yet again. When the missing retainer shows up in the trophy case where the school's pride and joy, a famous Super Bowl ring, usual sits, fingers point immediately in Griffin's direction.

True, he has recently been connected to the theft of a valuable baseball card and a crime at the local zoo, but that doesn't mean he is show more involved this time. Unfortunately, that's not how the principal and a very annoyed police detective see things.

Before Griffin knows it, he is attending a new school especially for young delinquents and he's also under house arrest. Both make it very difficult for him to find a way to prove his innocence. With his amazing ability to think of a plan and with the help of several loyal friends, Griffin may be able to figure out who has framed him.

Author Gordon Korman uses his trademark humor and passion for crazy schemes to create another great middle grade adventure. Readers will love the quirky characters and nonstop antics as Griffin attempts to convince the adults that someone is trying to ruin his reputation. FRAMED is the third Griffin Bing adventure, so be sure to check out SWINDLE and ZOOBREAK, too. show less

The book Framed is about a boy named Griffin who is framed. At Griffin's school there is a valuable super bowl ring that is put on display at the school's main office.

Griffin looses his retainer somewhere in the school and his parents get really mad at him because Griffin's retainer costed a lot. A couple days later the valuable super bowl ring has disapeared from the display case. What took the rings spot in the display case was griffin's lost retainer. Griffin's principal blames Griffin for stealing the super bowl ring, but really Griffin didn't steal the ring: he has been framed. For this Griffin has to go to JFK, Jail For Kids show more until the ring is found. Will Griffin's friends help him find the and get Griffin out of Jail For Kids.

I give Framed ***** because it has a lot of action and excitement. I also like the theme and the plot of this story. Framed is also not really hard to read, the vocabulary is not dificult either. I like how in Swindle and Zoobreak does something bad and does not get introuble. While in Framed Griffin doesn't do anything bad and gets put into Jail For Kids for stealing a super bowl ring. I thought it was clever of Gordan Korman to make his first two books of this series to have Griffin do something bad. Then twisted it around to Griffin not doing anything harmful at all and getting blamed for it. I think that Grodan Korman is a great author and should keep continuing this series with a fourth book. I hope to read another one of Gordan Korman's books later this year! show less
