![]() ![]() ![]() This sprains her foot and ankle, and gives her a heavy limp for the rest of the book. They catch most of her, but not enough to prevent her foot from hitting the floor. This in turn causes her to fall, and Griffin and Darren rush in to prevent her from hitting the ground. Agony of the Feet: During the break-in at the Palomino house, Pitch jumps into the open skylight which causes the ledge that the climbing harness ropes are wrapped around to break.Wounded Gazelle Gambit: The team uses this tactic plenty of times in their plans.What the Hell, Hero?: The six children of the story get plenty of these throughout their long run.Tempting Fate: Often, when a character comments that things seem to be looking up for them, that's when disaster strikes.It exemplifies that actions have consequences, and what results in our six heroes throughout their adventures is very detailed and realistic. Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: This series frequently dedicates itself to this formula.Suddenly Significant City: Quiet, sleepy Cedarville suddenly goes on the map with the adventures of the six most famous children there.Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: This is known to the team as "Code Z" when a plan is reaching the stage of failure and exposure, the best course of action is to flee the scene."The Reason You Suck" Speech: Griffin and his gang get so many of these that it can quite shameful for them.Most notably when Griffin gives up on a mission, which shocks his friends. Is Serious Business: A frequent staple throughout the series. One-Word Title: All of the books in the series have this.With the correct calculations, it appears that "Cedarville" is based on Cedarhurst, which is also a small town in Nassau County in real life. No Communities Were Harmed: The small town that the main group live in, Cedarville, is located in Nassau County in New York.Late-Arrival Spoiler: The fact that Ben has narcolepsy is referenced in the rest of the series, as it impedes further missions and he gets a ferret as a medical animal to control it. ![]() Also, an animal shouldn’t be referred to as "it", but as "him" or "her". Animals in her house are not pets, they are family members. Insistent Terminology: Plenty of characters use these, but the one who uses this the most by far is Savannah.The Ghost: The girls of the team (Savannah, Pitch, and Melissa) are said to have brothers and sisters mentioned plenty of times, yet they have never appeared at all.Free-Range Children: Granted, this series DOES have limits, but Griffin and his team venture into this trope frequently within their antics around Cedarville.Exact Words: What our six heroes deploy to cover up their signs to getting caught, along with Metaphorically True.However, when a certain clue is left behind that the police catch, this could spell disaster upon the main six, and it usually does. Didn't Think This Through: Griffin is usually very good at first planning in full detail and not letting any clues left behind.Brick Joke: Crops up from time to time at least once a book.And since the first book was released in 2008, this makes most of the books technically this trope. 20 Minutes into the Future: It isn't specified on which year each story takes place, but given that Swindle has October 16 on a Thursday, April 15 on a Wednesday, and other clues, this means the series starts off in the year 2014.I think the one flaw is that it lacked suspense when the dog show was going on.I would recommend this book to people who like mystery and people who had read the previous books. more thought this book was great because I can relate with Savannah and how she lost her dog because I had once lost a pet of mine. With the help of some other friends, will he achieve his goal?I. Griffin must make Luthor a award winning dog to help the Drysdales. Luthor mysteriously attacked Electra, which put the Drysdales into a big predicament. Review 2: I had read all of the books published in the series, and when I found out about the book I decided to read it. It is a book where you never like, "nobody in this book is doing anything worth reading about, I quit". It would've gotten even more than it was, if Pitch, Logan, and Melissa were actually active characters in this book. Review 1: I'm not done yet, but this might be my favorite of all! The only downside was that Gordon Korman kept it focused all on Griffin, Ben, and Savannah.
