En explorant une demeure condamnee a la demolition, Griffin, onze ans, decouvre une ancienne carte du joueur de base-ball Babe Ruth. Fou de joie a l'idee que cette carte puisse resoudre les problemes financiers que connait sa famille, il la fait evaluer par monsieur Cromino, le proprietaire du Royaume du collectionneur, qui lui en offre cent dollars. Mais voila que, quelques heures plus tard, Griffin apprend que l'homme mettra prochainement aux encheres la carte en question, esperant en obtenir un million de dollars! Furieux de s'etre fait flouer, le jeune garcʹon decide d'elaborer un plan afin de recuperer son du. Or, une strategie soigneusement elaboree et cinq copains specialistes de l'electronique, de l'escalade et du regne animal suffisent-ils a dejouer un systeme d'alarme a la fine pointe de la technologie, un doberman redoutable, un vieux voisin qui espionne tout le quartier et, surtout, les forces policieres? [SDM].

Une intrigue rocambolesque a la ##Mission impossible## qui se clot sur une pirouette et une petite lecʹon de morale. En effet, les jeunes protagonistes sont fortement reprimandes et prennent conscience que leur action criminelle aurait pu leur couter la liberte. Monsieur Cromino decide pour sa part de ne pas les poursuivre de crainte d'etre lui-meme accuse d'escroquerie, tandis que la carte si prisee est remise a l'ancienne proprietaire de la maison sur le point d'etre demolie. Detente. [SDM].
