Hi, Kora,

Thanks for posting.

A new book? There's always a new book. This one is called SLUGFEST, and it's coming out in January. It's the story of a Middle School super-athlete. Because of a change in some rules, he has not completed his Phys. Ed. requirements, and the high school board is making him take Phys. Ed in summer school. You can imagine the type of athlete he has to play on a team with! Laughs guaranteed.

And if you get sick of waiting for January, my booklist has 102 titles on it right now, so you won't run out of reading material any time soon.

Thanks for your interest. -----Gordon Korman-----

Hello, my 5th grade reading group read your book 'The Fort' and we want to say, if you ever change your title, add the silverware. Some more of my classmates from my reading group are going to be sending you an email to.

Hello, my 5th grade reading group read your book "The Fort" and my teacher asked us a question: if you could add one thing to the title picture what would it be? Me and some people in my group said the silver fork because it made Jason tell Janelle about the fort, which lead to Janelle calling the police and saving the day.

Please respond if you have time

Hi, Alyssa,

Glad the silverware made an impression! Actually, I think I'll keep THE FORT as the title. It says what I want to convey.

Hi, Maeryn,

What an unusual and very nice name! You're right, of course, about the silverware -- it was key. But I think THE FORT says it all very well. -----Gordon Korman-----

Sorry, I meant the title picture, me and Maeryn are in the same class and my teacher asked the same question.

That's OK, Alyssa. You and the class make a very good point, but I guess it's not possible to get the whole gist of the story into the title, right? ---GK---
