What this book is about
Kirkus reviewed this one directly: "Korman's fifth caper is wholly unbelievable from start to finish but a ton of fun nonetheless. Kids will be too busy laughing at the antics of Griffin and his pals to mind their implausibility," adding that it is "easy, slick and silly; it's Saturday-morning-cartoon hijinks between the covers of a book." That is also the content picture — scheming, hiding a dog, camp mishaps, and no meaningful violence, language or sexual material.
