Gordon Korman, I love your books, and I can’t wait for Faker to come out. @Jade count me in for the Faker book club, 100%. Too bad it’s going to be in a few months.

Dear Marlo,

I personally prefer the first 4 Harry Potter books. As for your favorite GK books, I didn’t fall in love with the Slacker series like I usually do with GK books, but I LOVE Restart and Slugfest. I will see you at the FAKER book discussion!

Sincerely,

Webmaster J.R.

Hi! It's great to meet you, Marlo! (This is Jade, not Gord.) I can't wait to see you in the FAKER discussion in July! I'm so excited. Yeah, a bit of a bummer we have to wait so long, but... it honestly just makes me so excited to read it this summer! I can't wait to talk to you guys again like we did for MIXED UP and SLUGFEST. This is becoming an awfully AWESOME trend!

SLUGFEST is awesome. And you like the Deathly Hallows the best? I'm more of a Order of the Phoenix fan, but that last book was amazing too (what I remember of it.) I'm a huge Potterhead. Love Harry Potter! What house are you? (You too, J.R.!)

Be blessed,
Jade

Hi, Marlo,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that my books are making a hit with you, and delighted to hear that you're interested in the Book Club run by Jade and Raymond for the new releases. Next up: FAKER, in early July. Stay tuned!

Thanks again, Marlo. I hope to continue turning out material that will please and amuse you.

Gryffindor, but anyone could've guessed that. Sometimes, though, a lot of the time... I wish I were a Hufflepuff, since they're all friendly and family-and happy. But I love my Gryffindorks.

Be blessed,
Jade

I am also excited for the faker book club and also wished it was closer.
I actually took the test recently, and it turns out I am a Gryffindor. I have always seen myself as a Hufflepuff or a Ravenclaw but Gryffindor kind of makes sense for me. I guess I am loyal, kind of brave, but can also be reckless and have a short temper. I do like adventure though.
Have a good day/night,
Logan

So, I read a 7-book series that was set in a boarding school, and the stories focused on the friendship dynamics between the main characters. The series featured mischievous behavior from the students... secrets and mysteries in every book... a major theme of good-vs.-evil... a bunch of quirky teachers and school administrators... school competitions and school traditions... villains looking to destroy the school... and unique school rules. The books were full of humor and the author was celebrated for bringing a whole new world to life.

I wouldn't say J.K. Rowling exactly copied Gordon Korman's Macdonald Hall/Bruno & Boots series... but you can draw your own conclusions. :-)
