Hi Gordon Korman

I have a few questions about the swindle series, at the end of jackpot, we see that victor joins the group, however in later books victor is not even mentioned, not even to say that he moved away or something. I wanted to know your thoughts on that.

My other question is if you would consider making more swindle books, maybe a 20th anniversary or something since the first swindle book came out in 2008.

thank you so much for making such amazing books that will forever be a part of my life.

Hi. Ayan,

Thanks for posting.

Re: adding to SWINDLE. I'll put it to my editors -- you never know! I think I'd enjoy getting back to those stories if the demand is there.

As for Victor, the answer is really simple. The readers hated him, and made their opinions very clear! So I dropped him like a hot potato and stuck with the regular cast.

Thanks again. -----Gordon Korman-----
