Hey Mr. Korman,

I've been reading your books for about five years or so, they're all so amazing!

I was wondering, if you could write a sequel to any of your standalone novels, which would it be?

Many thanks,

Ember.

Hi, Ember,

Thanks for posting and for your support for my work.

"Standalone" has a real meaning, of course, and it means there will be no sequels. But look what happened to UNGIFTED which started out as a standalone -- I followed it up with SUPERGIFTED. And soon, in about a year, there will be HYPERGIFTED.

If I had to choose, I think I'd write one for RESTART, because so many people have asked for more. And I might enjoy a little more of Mr. AIDACT, the superteacher, because it was such fun to write that one.

What a great question! Thanks again for taking the time to reach out to me.

Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

Did I, Chad? I meant to say what I say to everybody: Would you accept an indefinite maybe? ---Gordon Korman---
