Dear Gordon Korman,

It's Josey again! Although, you probably don't remember me. Anyways, I have a question about The Hypnotists. What made you decide to make Tommy color blind? Also, when The Fort comes out in June, where will I be able to find it?

Your biggest fan,

Josey

Hi, Josey,

Thanks for posting.

Your questions: A lot of Jax's hypnotic power comes from the changing color in his eyes. Being colorblind made Tommy slightly more resistant to Jax's power because he couldn't see the colors. It's only in Book #3 that Jax is able to hypnotize his friend Tommy.

As for THE FORT, it should be available June 28th in any good bookstore. As a matter of fact, you can order it right now from Amazon for delivery on June 28th.

OK? Thanks for your interest, Josey. -----Gordon Korman-----
