Hello Mr. Korman!!

Where do I even start???

You are one of the most amazing authors ever. Every single book of yours I have ever read has been hilarious and incredible. Your books are even more special to me and my family because my dad also grew up reading them and he now reads them out loud to us. I think one of the first books he ever read to me was I Want To Go Home and we still read it to this day. It is one of the funniest books in the whole world, as well as literally every single other book of yours. Who Is Bugs Potter? is another family favorite, but really, who can choose the best one?? My dad doesn't like series very much, but reading yours, (Masterminds, On The Run, Kidnapped, Swindle, Titanic, Everest, Dive, Island, etc...) he never gets bored or wants to stop reading! So many shelves of our bookcases at home are completely filled with your books, old and new, and I don't think that there can be more than 10 book of your that we haven't read (at the very, very most). On long road trips, we bring stacks of your books to keep us entertained, and believe me, they do. Every single book is so different, but you always manage to make it awesome. Most recently, we just read Mixed Up which was so moving and sad, yet at the same time laugh out loud funny in tons of parts. Thank you so so much for putting a ton of laughter and happiness into your writing and our lives.

Abigail and the family

Dear Abigail & Family,

And where shall I start? Thank you so much for your letter! You can't begin to know what a wonderful feeling it is to hear that your family is out there, reading and laughing in all the right places! Thank you for your letter, which arrived 3 times! It wasn't too much. Knowing that you're with me from I WANT TO GO HOME until MIXED UP, with a whole lot of stories in between, is a big thrill.

Very best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
