Hi Gordan,

I’m obsessed with Masterminds and love Amber and Malik’s dynamic and ship them. I was wondering if you think Amber and Malik as well as Tori and Eli get together later on in life.

Also thank you for writing Masterminds it’s amazing and is loved by a lot of people!!

Hi, K and Jade,

I have every expectation that Amber and Malik will be a fabulous couple for life, and so will Tori and Eli.

And K, I'm VERY glad to hear that MASTERMINDS has made such an impression on you. It's one of my works that I admit I'm very proud of. So thanks. -----Gordon Korman-----

I love ×10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 all of your books I've read, (Restart, Linked, etc) but Masterminds stood out to me. It has humor, but it's serious (ish). It has parts where I'm furious, and parts when I'm crying, and honestly I LOVE it because of that extraordinary writing it has. I love Teli and Amik (Tori+Eli and Amber+Malik). My friends tell me that I'm like Amber lol. Keep up because you got me hooked. Bye!

Hi, Kenny,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that my books, especially MASTERMINDS, have been making a hit with you. I hope you'll want to read your way through the whole list -- it's not quite the number you posted but, with the release of SLUGFEST, my booklist is now 103 titles long! That sounds amazing, even to me!

Thanks again, Kenny. -----Gordon Korman-----

In mastermind could Osiris see what the kids looked up on their fake internet? Like before Eli knew it was fake he looked up about mcnally academy so did the scientist know that Eli knew about randy and that they must have been in touch? And if not wasn’t it a shortcoming on Osiris side, they could have gained a lot by tracking the kids web searches.

was just wondering, thank you

Hi, E.,

You're right, of course. But remember -- Serenity had the kids' computers fixed to allow only their own material. It was the loss of power in the thunderstorm that allowed Eli to access the real Internet and learn the real story of the Boston Tea Party. After that, the kids would go close to the factory to get real internet -- it was available there in the "business" office and the power spilled over into the surrounding area. Osiris never figured that out, and that's how the kids wised up and decided they had to get out of Serenity.

OK? -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi, Ben,

Are you the same Ben who likes sequels? I guess I have to give the same answer, Ben. I think the MASTERMINDS series is done. But I also think there might be a lot more to write about -- the main characters are on the verge of growing up, they're starting a life of freedom, they've kind of "discovered" each other. So I'll give you another indefinite maybe. Sorry I can't be more specifc. I've written a lot of stuff since MASTERMINDS, and I'm sort of in a different mode. Anyway, we'll see.
