Dear Mr. Korman,

I just read the book Swindle (I loved it) and in the book Hideout, on page 58, it says that Darren Vader has never climbed a tree. However, in Swindle, Darren climbed the tree to get the Babe Ruth card. Maybe you can check this out?

I really like your books!

Hi, Quinn,

You got me! You found a genuine mistake that NOBODY ELSE discovered, not even the editors! If Darren really did climb that tree, you're right!

I hope you'll want to read the whole SWINDLE series of 8 books: SWINDLE, ZOOBREAK, FRAMED, SHOWOFF, HIDEOUT, JACKPOT, UNLEASHED, and JINGLE. Laughs guaranteed, and even some mystery and excitement!

Thanks again for writing, Quinn! -----Gordon Korman-----
