You should watch this show called Greeny Phantom, it's on YouTube. It's really funny and I'll think you'll like it.

This is a trailer my 5th grader did after our class read Restart. He made this all on his own and wants to do the movie. It's really good and I wanted you to watch. His name is Liam Mojica.

Hi, Liam Mojica,

Thanks to your teacher for sending me your video! I'm really impressed with your effort, and expect to see your name on a lot of movies one day! Thanks to Ms. Palma for sending me your work, and thanks to you for preparing the Introduction to Restart!

I think I speak for all early GK fans when I say that we need more Bruno and Boots in our lives.

Personally, I'm waiting for Prime Minister Walton.

Hi, Jane Seymour,

Would you believe that THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL was written 48 years ago when I was in 7th grade? You're right -- Bruno should be Prime Minister, at the very least, by now. And I'm pretty sure he'd be an improvement!

I don't know if I could wiggle myself back into Bruno & Boots mode after all these years and all these books (we're up to 105 as of today, the 14th of January.) But it's nice to hear from someone who's nostalgic about those romps.Thanks for reaching out.

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

DOUGLAS Fairchild? Wow, I'd forgotten about him! That book has really disappeared into the primal ooze.

Did you ever get to see the Bruno & Boots movies? There were 3 of them, and they were great! I don't know where they might be found these days. It was quite a few years ago. --GK--

I did see the movies! All three of them, I think. They were pretty good; I definitely enjoyed them.

Primal ooze indeed... I think your earliest works are your best ones, and I have paper and digital copies of several of them. It's a crying shame they're not more well-known, in my opinion. I re-read them every now and then. They make me happy.

If you aren't planning to write more of that sort, as is perfectly understandable... well. Thank goodness for fanfiction.
