The Library Lady

Hello Mr. Korman,

This message is mostly just a thank you. I was introduced to your books as a teenager beginning with your Island, Everest, and Dive trilogies. Now as a school librarian I am always sure to keep well stocked shelves of your books available to our students! Often the shelves are nearly empty because so many are checked out all the time but as any librarian would say, empty library shelves make us happy because it means the students hands are full of books!

This year we have chosen your book "No More Dead Dogs" for our Battle of the Books competition and our students are loving it! Your stories are very engaging, and they love the humor you add to them. With the school year ending soon I already have students planning which of your titles will be their first book checked out next year!

I just wanted to say thank you for all of your wonderful stories. Any time I have a student struggling to decide what to check out I give them your name and you never disappoint. I know our Battle of the Books teams are going to have a great time competing with all of theIR assigned titles, but No More Dead Dogs has been listed multiple times as their favorite!

Thank you for all you do!

Dear Library Lady,

You and I obviously have the same tastes -- we like to see students with stacks of books! Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement, and also for your long-term support for my books.

Onward and upward, NO MORE DEAD DOGS!

Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
