Hello! I recently discovered your books and I'm absolutely obsessed. You are my favorite author of all time. My favorite stand-alone book in the world is Restart. Amazing! I know you sold the rights of it to Disney and I was wondering if they were planning on making it a movie? That would be epic. My favorite series in the world is the Island series. I love them. I was thinking that maybe you could try to make it a movie or, better yet, a TV show! I just got my hands on The Fort and I can't wait to read it! My local library has a quite large selection of Korman books, and I can't wait to read them all!

Thank you so much for reading!!

Hi, Emma,

Thank you very much, Emma! I hope tat what I write will never disappoint you.

Re: RESTART. The rights are film rights, so whoever bought the rights is planning either a movie or a TV release of some kind. That doesn't mean it will happen, mind you. The film business is like that. But let's keep a good thought.

As for me turning any of my work into TV or movies, that's not the way it works. Film companies make movies, and authors write books, and that's just the way it is. But, as I said before, let's keep a good thought. There are 3 Macdonald Hall movies, and Nickelodeon has done SWINDLE, and Disney did an old TV series called THE JERSEY that was my MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL series. So there must be more coming, right?

Thanks for writing and for all your support for my work. -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi I’m a huge fan of your book restart I’ve read it a few times and i think it’s a amazing book but I’ve always wondered what chases life was like before he got amnesia we get small details about it but not a lot so I guess what I’m asking is have you ever thought about making a second book about what his life was before the fall?
