Griffin Bing can. He actually had one in his hands—before he got hoodwinked out of it.

It all started when Griffin and his best friend snuck into the spooky old Rockford House for a haunted slumber party. That's where he found the card—inside an old desk. He brought it to Palomino's Emporium of Collectibles to get it appraised, but the store's dirty-dealing owner convinced him the card was a fake. Then, the very next day, Palomino was on TV, bragging about his million-dollar find!

Griffin is burning mad. He knows there's no point in going to the police. He has no proof that the card was his, and even if he did, grown-ups don't listen to 11-year-old kids. So he decides to take matters into his own hands. Getting the card back won't be easy—Palomino has an attack dog, a high-tech alarm system, and a lot of tricks up his sleeve. But Griffin has a team of sixth graders who are ready to break the law if they have to.

Full of twists and surprises and starring a relatable and colorful cast of characters, this is a page-turning grand-slam of a heist story!
