Dear Mr. Korman,

                I read your book ungifted and I enjoyed it I loved the part with the robot battle. It was kind of like one of my video games. It is similar because my game has robots. I thought it was Noah but it was Abigail. Tis is the 1^st book I read that you rote and I liked it.

                Thank you for writing these books for everyone and I hope to read another book that you wrote.

   From: Xavier B

Hi, Xavier B.,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad you enjoyed UNGIFTED. There's a sequel out now called SUPERGIFTED. I hope you'll enjoy that one too. Also, if you're a gamer, my novels SLACKER and LEVEL 13 are definitely for you! They're all about video gaming, laughs guaranteed!

Thanks again, Xavier! -----Gordon Korman-----

A second sequel to Ungifted would be so good. Donovan deserves a much better ending considering what he has gone through with his unloving, non-supportive family, and the ungrateful kids at school and community. Maybe you can write one where Donovan tries to enroll a remedial school, cannot because he is not qualified, and he begs his family and Noah for desperate help, you can still keep it comedic.

Hi, Brandon,

Thanks for posting. Right now I have no plans to continue the UNGIFTED series, but that could change. I can't promise anything, but I have to admit it might be fun. How about what I "promise" everyone -- a definite maybe?

Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

A definite maybe is better than nothing my friend. I actually write stories though I do not publish them yet, so I can propose some neat ideas. Please promise us this at least though if you do write a sequel, fingers crossed, please at least improve things between Donovan and his family. I understand the comedy aspect of it, which is cool, but they are his family, and his relatives especially that father of his (who I just wanted to slap) need to be more loving and supportive of him, and I liked what his mother, sister and brother in law did at the end, but Donovan is human too, and needs much more support, and Noah got away with too much credit.
