ZOOBREAK by Gordon Korman


Though it doesn't have to be considered a sequel to SWINDLE, having read it first will help you enjoy ZOOBREAK even more because you will be familiar with the characters and their personalities. Griffin gives in to Savannah's request to get her precious capuchin monkey, Cleopatra back from the greedy zookeeper running the floating zoo. The Man with the Plan seems to have everything covered, but when Darren is a No Show, Klaus, the humongous guard gets in the way, and animals are on the loose, their daring rescue seems to be foiled. If they can keep the forty other animals hidden until another home can be found for them, maybe the team can avoid an arrest. It's possible, but not likely!
