Lucydear Gordon Korman,
hello! My name is Lucy and I read your book Linked. I really liked how in each chapter I got to see how each character reacted to the swastika appearing in their school. I also liked how Link did not tell that he painted the first swastika because it left an un-expected twist to the end of the novel. What is your favourite book that you have made? What inspired you to make this book?
From: Lucy

I'm glad to hear that LINKED made a hit with you. Thanks for writing to tell me so. I appreciate hearing from my readers.
I honestly have no favorite among my books. Having said that, I admit that I'm very proud of RESTART, which is a huge success and has been on the New York Times Bestseller List for almost 4 years! And I'm really proud of my Book #100, titled THE FORT. But, then, I'm proud of all my work, and I hope you'll plan to read on.
What inspired me to write LINKED? Writers don't really require what you call "inspiration," Lucy. We write because we have something to say, a story to tell. LINKED came from a lot of thinking, plotting, and having something I wanted to say. That's all it takes to start us scribbling!
OK? Thanks again, Lucy. -----Gordon Korman-----
