Nancy ShawHi! I am a 6th grade teacher and have been reading The Fort aloud to a group which comes every Monday (voluntarily) to listen. We read, discuss, and generally enjoy your writing together. I love the way you are introducing some big subjects at a level they can relate to. I am a fan of books, but sometimes see one that would make a great movie. I think this would be one.
There is not really a reason for me to be writing, but I just appreciate that you are writing content for these kids that compels them to show up every week and express their excitement for the ending of the book. Do you have any suggestions for other titles of yours that are similar?
Thanks for helping them to love books as much as I do.
:) Nancy Shaw

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that THE FORT is going over so well with your Monday Volunteers. As for a recommendation, how about LINKED. I can promise you some interesting "big subjects" in that one. And I have a new book coming out on Jan. 10th, title: THE SUPERTEACHER PROJECT, which might just give them a whole lot to think about.
Thanks for choosing my books for your group. -----Gordon Korman-----

Thank you !

I'm sorry to hear that you're having so much trouble finding FRAMED, which is part of the SWINDLE series. My research tells me that Chapters/Indigo should be your best bet, as the book is not out of print. My advice would be to keep trying, as deliveries of materials have become such an issue with all items since Covid. What it tells me is that the book is "in stores, but out of stock on line." Yes, I know, that doesn't make much sense.
I'd send you a copy if I had one to spare, but I'm afraid I don't. Good luck finding it. -----Gordon Korman-----
