About this book
Griffin Bing and his friends are determined to protect Luthor, the gentle giant of a dog they once rescued, when the slippery S. Wendell Palomino—aka Swindle—schemes to get him back. The crew races from one clever hideout to another, using wit, teamwork, and plenty of guts to stay a step ahead. Fast-paced chapters, humor, and animal-love stakes keep readers turning pages. Perfect for middle-grade fans of capers and friendship stories, with no spoilers needed to enjoy the ride.
Setting: contemporary suburban New York and a series of secret hideouts (islands, camps, and backyards)
