Hi, Jade,

Congratulations! That's a big step.

The books you list are all pretty young for high school, but I presume you want something to talk about. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALS HALL was #1, which is an interesting point, I guess, since #100 just came out some 40+ years later. Or pick your favorite. NO COINS, PLEASE is probably the funniest, and "Underwear" is the youngest.

Again, congrats. The freedom of high school, not having to march two-by-two, etc., is exhilarating. Plus you learn stuff!

I figured that. The more high school-ish ones are the MASTERMINDS series, UNGIFTED, SCHOOLED, LINKED, OPERATION DO-OVER, and THE FORT. But if you have a favorite, by all means take that one.

I guess your first day already took place. How did it go? ---G---

I find that really funny because I actually ended up taking UNGIFTED to school today. Though, it was my second day. Since I didn't say it before, thank you! High School is a little exhilarating... the day before it starts. It was actually really boring and extremely scary the first day! But the second day was much better. I ended up re-reading some of UNGIFTED in my last period and that just reminds me more of how much I love Donovan Curtis! (I still love Ben and Roddy more, though.) I am definitely going to be reading NO COINS, PLEASE soon. I've been trying to find a really funny book to lighten up my day. Thanks!

Well, methinks WHATSHISFACE is a wonderful book, my favorite book that you have ever written. I think you wrote SUPERGIFTED the best, even if it is not my favorite book of yours. But It's definitely up there! OMG, guess what? I can basically get $5 for free now, to buy books. Awesome!

Gord, which book of yours are you the most proud of/took you the most effort to write/you feel like you did "your best work" in?

Anyway, Ruchama, I think it's cool how your father reads the books you read and vice versa. You guys could have a mini book club if you wanted to!

I'm proud of most of them, Jade, some more than others. I'm really proud of a 6-book series called ON THE RUN, and also MASTERMINDS. I'm proud of THE UNTEACHABLES because it was SO funny! And LINKED because it had kind of a special meaning. And I think I'm proudest of THE FORT, because I hung in there for 100 books, and it turned out to be something that a lot of people think is special.

(I also had a few books earlier on that I wish had been written by somebody else. But that's another story, and a very private one!) ---G---

Anddddd you're going to be a triple highschooler in a week and a couple days. Yikes. Go do your summer work.

Sigh. It makes me happy to see my old post, but also sad to see how my enthusiasm slowly died, bit my bit...

and then it returns whenever I think of Gordon Korman. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

But anyways... back to sadness...

I remember being in 9th grade and wondering why the juniors and seniors seemed so dejected and sad, why they weren't excited and happy anymore.

Part of me knows that's because they're not three-year-olds and part of me knows because high school is just, hard.

Kids, don't go to high school. Except, please go. It's worth it.

Sorry this is so sad. I was definitely struggling more in 8th grade (when I first came on here) than I was in any of high school, believe it or not. I guess I'm just getting old. Them gray hairs won't catch me yet, though!

Or you, since you're bald. But I'm not willing to take that step yet. I will run until I can't run anymore, and then I will go bald

Be blessed,

Gord, I’m a highschooler tomorrow. For the third time.

Jade, I knew just where to look for this email -- at the bottom of the very first one, dated Aug. 9th, 2022, when you were first becoming a highschooler!

Have a wonderful year, full of cheers and learning (yes, that stuff), and friends and lots of writing.

Best, Gord
