My family and I are huge fans of your books!!!!!! We noticed that some of your books have Jewish characters and phrases, as we're Jewish, we were wondering where you got your inspo from? Keep the great books coming!!! Especially the trilogies and series!! titanic, island, masterminds, and on the run are among our favorites!

Mr. Korman, it is so interesting to me that I have blindly chosen several books to read that have some connection to my life in some regard, be it a character's name, place or situation, that I can relate to. I usually look into the author's bio before starting a book. I see that you and your family have ties to Long Island as do I, having grown up there. Having grandchildren and looking for something to mention for their future reading library, I read the synopsis of one of your books and it intrigued me. I've selected Restart and have not gotten very far as of yet but am very curious as to how you came up with Joel's being sent to the Melton Music Conservatory in New Britain, Ct.? I lived and worked in New Britain, Ct for many years. As I believe that is a fictitious establishment, I wonder where Chase lives in relation to where Joel was shipped off to. Perhaps as I read on it will be mentioned or not. Thank you for your time.
