If you are reading this, you might have read my book review on Swindle. Now you are reading My book review on Zoobreak, by Gordon Korman. This book has the same charactors but only metionds Swindle once or twice. In other words I wouldn’t call it a prequel, but you should read Swindle before Zoobreak. Savannah’s pet monkey, Cleopatra goes missing, Griffen suspects it just ran away. That is until they go on a fieldtrip to All Aboard Animals, A crummy floating zoo, and sees a monkey that looks like Cleo. Griffen and Savannh suspects that Mr. Naste (a.k.a Mr. Nasty) is a thief. Once again Griffen and the team aquire, danger, two Zoobreaks, a wild owl, and a bunch of poor animals.
