Cannot read property 1 of null???

What am I doing wrong here as what I wrote is the same as the hint:

const book = ${title}: $${price}

app.js 
const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;

const drink = flavor + ' ' + type + ': ' + '$' + price;
const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;

You've got it! This is one of those moments when Treehouse wasn't exactly clear in their instructions. They actually want you to replace line 5 entirely.

So just delete this line: 

const drink = flavor + ' ' + type + ': ' + '$' + price;

and keep yours:

const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;

And you should be good to go :)
