It's a kid's caper book, and it has about all the substance that you would expect from a caper book. The characters in the gang are defined by their abilities: there's the climber, the small space guy, the computer wiz, etc... And the "brains" behind the gang is "The Man With The Plan." The plans, of course, go terribly awry. But everything works out in the end.I've read some reviews where people are concerned about the kind of role models and messages that this might send out to our kids. That'...

I think it was funny because of the way the story went.I choose this book because of the way he said the story and i like zoo's to.The genre is fiction .

Cute little adventure. A fun story to read with kids. Clean enough for kids to read on their own. Great conversation starter.

Griffin and his gang do more than one crime in less than two weeks. Well...not exactly crimes. he wanted justice. HE did two zoo breaks and each relatively successfully. He is a master "burglar."

I have just finished reading Zoobreak, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Griffin Bing the Main character and the gang pull off another plan. This time though it is for Savannah, because her pet monkey Cleopatra has gone missing. Savannah is heartbroken, until one day during their summer break, her friends decide to take her to the new floating zoo that arrived at their town to try cheering her up. As they begin their way through the zoo, everyone is unpleasantly surprised at how mistreated, and poorly

What a disappointment! The latest works from Gordon Korman, including Swindle, "Schooled", and this book are horrible! "Zoobreak" was the sequel to "Swindle" and was basically the same book with different details thrown in. It followed the pattern of: Kids get cheated by "bad" adult, police won't help, so kids literally break into someplace and then get caught by police, but the police let them off because the adult whose property the kids broke into was "bad". What kind of message is this sendi...

This book is about a girl named Savannah who loses her pet monkey. She then thinks that someone stole her monkey. A couple of days’ later Savannah and her classmates go to a horrible zoo boat on the water. When they go inside, Savannah looks at a monkey and realizes that it looks just like her pet monkey that was stolen. She gets really mad and the zookeeper has to come and escort them out. Savannah asks Griffin Bing, the man with the plan, to help get her monkey back. He creates a plan that inv...

08 Apr 20211. This one was better than the first. Mostly because the logistics of how to transport and care for animals makes it very interesting. It's all a very good natured Robin Hood story and I appreciate that. 2. Savannah's (animal expert) monkey gets stolen by a shady guy running a shady zoo, and there are no legal avenues she can get her back so heist it is. As usual, some things work and others don't. Now they have a blackmailing classmate and houses full of animals. 3. The most hilario...

Korman has to be one of the hardest working children's authors out there. This LFL find is yet another funny and exciting adventure, with the author's trademark sensitivity to authentic characters and plausible situations... no magic, no unsupervised orphans, no cliched bullies.... Reading the first adventure is not necessary to enjoying this.I will continue to read the author as I come across his work.

It was a really good book. In the end the horrible zookeeper was sent to jail. And Klaus was lucky enough to avoid jail considering that he didnt know about the stolen monkey and also saved oobreak group luckily didn't get in trouble but they discovered (the police) that they were the people who stole the baseball card and if they ever found them doing something bad again they were going to jail.

don't try to be someone your not

I would give Zoobreak by Gordon Korman, the sequel to Swindle, a thumbs up; it was well written and had an entertaining plotline that was easy to follow. Gordon Korman has a way of writing that isn’t very complicated but does a good job of describing the surroundings and emotions to the reader. This book was narrated from the “All Knowing” point of view, so more description of each characters feelings and actions were given. One of the only downsides to this book is that it doesn’t use a very wi...

This book is so good. It is really funny while being suspemseful.

Zoobreak is the sequel to Korman's Swindle. Most of the previous gang make an appearance. This time, instead of a card being stolen, Savannah Drysdale's pet monkey Cleo goes missing. Luther, Savannah's pet doberman (transformed from the vicious killer of Swindle into a pussycat) is devastated. Savannah and her sixth grade class go on a field trip to a run-down floating zoo. Savannah creates a disturbance when she spots Cleo in one of the cages. Her legal efforts to get Cleo back go nowhere. Ente...

Very similar to its predecessor, Swindle, this book will delight those who enjoy a fun caper. Griffin and his gang are once again determined to show the adult world that kids are capable of great things. Animal lover Savannah's monkey has gone missing--but shows up on a floating zoo they visit during a field trip. Nothing will deter her and the gang from retrieving her monkey--not a huge body of water, nor an intense security fence, nor a round-the-clock security guard.Of course, although Griffi...

This book is all about getting Savannah's monkey, Cleopatra back. Then by a complete surprise they see Cleopatra at a very bad zoo where none of the animals are getting what they need. Then they get kicked out of the zoo because Savannah goes crazy because she knows that is her monkey and the person whos giving the tour refuse to admit to it. Then Griffin or the "man with a plain" and Ben decide to get the monkey back. After a long day Griffin finally made a plain including a lot of different pe...

this book is a big time fiction book i dont think anyone can trully pull off what they did in this book. the setting is that they are looking for this monkey that was stolen then they have to keep all of these animals in their house because they dont want them being shipped away on this boat. thee chraters are ben and he is the man with the plan if there is ever a problem he would be the one to call because he can figure out any plan at all then there are a bunch of his friends that help him out...

This book is about a girl named savannah who let her pet monkey outside to play and ect. When she went to go and get her she was gone. She knows that she wouldnt run away so she thinks someone stole her. The next day she went a school field trip to an All Aboard Animals boat zoo. There she saw in a cage her moknley cleopatra. She goes and tells the teacher that its her monkey in the cage but the teacher doesnt believe her. So Savannah went and told the zoo keeper and was yelling at him saying th...

When Griffin and Ben go looking with Luther to find Cleopatra and come back with a banana, Savannah is sure Cleopatra has been kidnapped. Savannah is sure this is no accident and that Swindle has kidnapped Cleopatra. This book includes a fast paced action packed plot. For example in Zoobreak, "The hijacks from Swindle would never end this was a never ending game" (26). This shows how there is a lot of action. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a action packed book with an exciting plot.

This book, again, shows the effect of a burglary. This would not have been a big deal if they had not taken all of those animals. Mr. Nastase stole one of Savannah's pets and it made a huge deal. She has tons of pets but she needs every single little pet. That is how she rolls. An evil zoo keeper had stolen it. The crew broke into a zoo to get the pet back but Savannah wanted to bring all of those animals. They stole all the animals and hid them in their houses. The zoo keeper eventually found o...

A fun book for any one, this is targeted for ages 8-12. Korman is probably the best dialogue writer around - for any age. Regardless of how complex the vocabulary is, all his dialogue tells you something about the person saying it or moves the plot forward or both. In addition to that, it's hysterically funny. One of the best children's authors working today.

This book has 230 pages of planing. The main persons is Griffin and his 5 friends I am like Savanna his one out of 5 friends because she likes animals and I do to. I gave this book a 5 because I really like animals.The end whats you what to now what will happen in the other books. You would like this book if you like animals and Mystery.

These books were recommended by my 10 year old. I had hoped in the second book, the kids could put their talents to use in a scheme that was less illegal and more believable, but that is not the case. From what my son tells me, they continue this trend throughout the series. It's just too much for me. I'll leave him to it, but I'll be watching him closely for criminal tendencies...

An awesome fast paced action packed book. If want action,drama, and suspence read zoobreak By Gordon Korman

I personally love ALL of the books written by Gordon Korman.But this book is full of unexpected surprises you wouldn't think would happen.A very good book.
