JaceDear Gordon Korman,
For a school project, I am reading one of your books, Ungifted, and writing a summary of your life (5 paragraphs). I was wondering if you give a more detailed summary of your life than that on your website. Some of the key questions I need answering are:
What are your achievements?
Do you have any siblings?
What problems did you have to overcome?
Thank you so much,
Jace

Wow! My achievements are, first of all, my 3 kids. I'm VERY proud of them. And getting published at age 12 was a big one, I think. And right now I just passed published book #100. That's the current biggie. And making the New York Times Bestseller List on numerous occasions is pretty nice too!
I'm an only child -- no siblings.
Problems? I can't say there were none, but there was nothing major. My upbringing was great, my schooling was fun, and my parents were -- and still are -- terrific people! I had an easy time growing up.
OK? Sorry to be such a dull, run-of-the-mill guy! -----Gordon Korman-----
