Hi Gordon,

I’m a fan of your books and recently I was rereading restart and ungifted. In restart, Chase’s judge is Judge Garfinkle. In ungifted, Donovan’s friend is named Chloe Garfinkel. I was wondering if this was just a coincidence or if your books had a relation to one another.

Hi, Tomas,

Thanks for posting and for being a fan! Actually, I hadn't realized I've repeated the name in two different books. I've written quite a few series books and, of course, they're related. But individual titles like UNGIFTED and RESTART are unrelated. It's, as you guessed, a coincidence. -----Gordon Korman-----
