I think this book will be popular with kids who already enjoy Korman's work and for kids who enjoy heist type stories. I feel like it skews a little bit more towards a boy book, but I certainly enjoyed reading it and found it easier to get into than The Great Wide Sea.
My only complaint would be that it switches point of view among characters fairly often, and at times I found it particularly difficult to remember whether Griffin or Ben was speaking. I'd be interested to know if others had this difficulty.
