Hello Gordon,

I realize this may be a long shot but I’m reaching out to you as a middle school reading teacher. I have had small group novel studies with your books The Unteachables and Unplugged. The students and I love your writing! Thank you for writing books that are so engaging and fun for kids at this level.

I have an Amazon Wish List and have two more of your books on the list. I’m wondering if you would be interested in sponsoring these books so I can continue to teach these novels with my students.

With gratitude and appreciation!

Greetings from southside Virginia,

I have used you novel Ungifted in my classroom for the last several years, and it is always a class favorite. My entire grade level is getting ready to read it since I have raved about the story and how engaged the students are reading it. One of my colleagues has a student that only speaks Spanish though, and I was wondering if there is a Spanish copy or if it would be possible for us to get a Digital copy that we’d be able to put into Google translate for him to enjoy Donovan’s story with us. I thank you so much for taking the time to hear from your readers, and hope that you’ll be able to help us find a solution.

Hi, Emma Jones,

Thanks for posting and for your support for UNGIFTED. Your questions stump me. Sorry. Your best bet would be to ask the publisher, Harper Collins. The imprint at Harper is Balcer and Bray. www.harpercollins.com .

Hope it goes over well with the class so that they'll want to go on to SUPERGIFTED, the sequel.

Regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
