It's not enough for me to nitpick movies. I've found some nits in these books.

One particular one is in "The Prairie Dog Conspiracy". To set the scene, a girl named Dianne gets kidnapped by someone she knows (and thinks she can trust)

The person has pulled up beside her in a van and offered her a ride. She spends a minute or two talking to the person before Tom shows up, shouting for her not to get in the van.

After Tom has entered the scene, the kidnapper panics, opens the van door, and pulls Dianne in.

The nit is this: if Dianne was standing close enough to the van to talk to the person, and also close enough that the person is not seen by Tom, then how did she avoid getting hit by the van door?

Anti-nit: it may be (and we'll see if this is true when/if the books become movies) that Dianne stepped towards the rear of the van (the direction from which Tom was approching at high speed) and had cleared the door area.
This would also contribute to the kidnapper's panic, as he would have lost sight of her momentarily.


For more info on these books, you can visit the official site http://www.ericwilson.com, or my own fan-site http://www.geocities.com/wardc16/Wilson/ There are a few other nitpicks on my site that I'll post here later. For now you can click the link that says "oops".

What kind of van? Don't vans have sliding doors?

Not the front doors. That van may or may not have had a sliding door partway back, but Dianne was looking right into the cab area.
