Mr. Korman,

I wrote a blog post comparing and contrasting your book This can't be happening at Macdonald hall to the movie. Here's the link

Sincerely,

Hi, Mercy,

Thanks for the comparison. I was impressed with the 3 Macdonald Hall movies that company filmed. I think GO JUMP IN THE POOL was the best one, but I liked them all. Of course, a book is very different from a film, where descriptive material has to be shown rather than described. But all in all, it was a great experience for me to see my first books on film!

Thanks again! -----Gordon Korman-----

Fan, check out Swindle! It's great, and it even features Arianna Grande and Jennette McCurdy!
