NoahHi Gordon Korman! I was wondering if you could give me a sneak peek about a book that has not come up with that you are still writing. If not that is ok.
Thank You!

I never give what you call "sneak peeks." But because your name is Noah, and so is the character I'm writing about, here goes:
I'm working on a 3rd book in the "gifted" series, starring characters Donovan Curtis and Noah Youkilis. Laughs guaranteed!
And that's all you're getting! Thanks, though, for your interest!

Thanks for posting. I'm glad to hear that my books are making a hit with you.
You've probably read enough of my stuff to realize that most of it is realistic fiction. There's always WHATSHISFACE, which is about a cell phone haunted by a character from Shakespearean England. Or the few books in THE MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL CLUB series - there's a lot of fantasy in those. Or the 3 book series THE HYPNOTISTS, which deals in fantasy and special powers. But, alas, I've never put anyone on another planet.
No promises, but you never know, right? Thanks again, A. -----Gordon Korman-----
