Hello again Gordon Korman! I have about two questions for you!!

1. Pop - What is Troy Popovich's football number

2. Swindle - In the Swindle movie by Nickelodeon (Which I have not watched because I want to read the book first) it has every character expect for Logan Kellerman I believe. They replaced him for another role, the muscle. Now because the book of Swindle is arriving at my home tomorrow my time, I wanna make sure I have the charcaters correct. Logan Kellerman is the master actor in the book, but he doesn't show up in the movie. Please tell me if Logan is really the master actor or the muscle and I'm just tweaking out because if he really does have the role of the muscle and not master actor, all my theater kid headcanons for him will not be aplicable anymore.

Thank you!!

Hi, Ewiz,

Logan Kellerman was just not considered important enough for the movie, which was great, but which was singularly unlike the original book. If you read the book and watch the film, you'll see what I mean. e.g. The filmmakers wanted the characters older because they needed scenes where they were driving cars. That's all I remember of it.

As for TroyPopovich's football number, i haven't got the slightest idea if I even gave him one, so it's all up to you, OK?
