4.0
Plot (4 stars): It's a cute story that follows two brothers. The youngest one is twelve and the oldest is old enough to drive, but I'm not sure of actual age. They have to carry on the family business of pulling of hoaxes. Things get complicated and they wind up having to risk everything to pull off the grand slam of hoaxes.
Characters (5 stars): Grayson and Curtis have such well developed personalities. The reader watches as they grow as people and in their brotherly bond throughout their adventure. Gramps has my favorite personality of everyone though. He is very funny!
Writing (3 stars): The writing was great, but there was sometimes too much and it made the story go a little slow for my tastes. There were a lot of chapters where I just read the first line of each paragraph and the dialogue. I was just a bit bored reading all the details of everything. It was great for the character development, but I loved the characters even though I skipped a lot of it.
Overall: This was such a cute book that, I think, my son would have enjoyed. It's great for the age range it's intended for!
