Kayden Crume

From my 6th grade student:

Hi, my name is Kayden Crume. I am a 6th grader at Spillane Middle School. I am writing a fan letter because your book "Schooled" is amazing! I love all the characters and their qualities. I think you did a really good job on this book. I have a few questions for you. Number one: What inspired you to write this book? Also, have you ever thought of making a sequel for "Schooled?" I hope you are able to write back.

Hi. Kayden,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that SCHOOLED went over so well with you. I've written a lot of books -- would you believe the one I'm working on now is #108? -- so I hope you'll plan to read on.

Your question: What you call "inspiration" has more to do with just having something to say. Writing that kind of story is what I do for a living. My ideas come from plain old hard work, and a lot of thinking and plotting. No big mystery; it's just work.

Thanks again for writing, Kayden. -----Gordon Korman-----
