Hello Gordon Korman, I was wondering if for any of your books you would consider making a movie or a podcast? I hope you decide to look into this more. Thank you for your time.

Hello Mr. Korman,

I was just wondering if Restart has been Spanish version. I'm a dual language teacher and one of my students is a newcomer who does not speak any English. I'm doing read alouds with the entire class but would love for her to be able to enjoy the book as well. Thank you for your time!

Hi, Sydney S.,

There have been movies of SWINDLE, and 3 of the Macdonald Hall books, to name a few. And there are various books of mine under film contract. None of them, though, have been (or will be) made by me. Film companies make movies, and I write books. But I do agree with you, Sydney -- some of my stuff would make amazing movies!

Thanks for the thought. -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi, Jacqueline,

Thanks for posting. I know there is supposed to be a Spanish edition of RESTART, but I don't know of one in existence right now. Sorry. You might try the publisher, Scholastic, or a bookseller like Barnes & Noble. ---GK---
