- Hello Mr. Norman, I don’t know if my previous message got to you, I think it deleted. I wanted to ask a few questions about ungifted. 1. How fun was it to write ungifted, what was your favorite part, and who’s your favorite character? 2. I heard a series was coming out, if so is it still coming or is it cancelled? I hope it isn’t cancelled. 3. Could you give me a physical description of the characters? The main characters of ungifted and maybe supergifted. I know we have a few details but I was really curious. I wanted to know eye colors, skin colors, hair color and texture, possibly ethnicity, or any other features that may be important, I love to draw and I’d love to draw some of your characters. I apologize for asking for a lot, and if you got my previous messages I apologize for submitting them multiple times. Sincerely, Laila.

Hi, Laila,

Thanks for posting. I don't think I received your previous message, so I do apologize for being late to reply. Computers! The world's great mystery sometimes!

Was it fun to write UNGIFTED? Sure, but basically, it was work. Writing books is my job, and I take it very seriously. The reading public is entitled to the best I can manage. (But #3 in the series was just a real hoot! I hope you'll watch for it. It's going to be titled HYPERGIFTED.)

UNGIFTED is book #1; book #2 is called SUPERGIFTED, and it's been available for some time. #3 will be called HYPERGIFTED,and it's going to be released in about a year's time.

Descriptions? I can tell you that Noah is dark-haired, small-ish and skinny, and Donovan is fairer, maybe sandy-haired, and more muscular. Noah's eyes would be brown, and Donovan is definitely blue-eyed. As for the rest of the cast, you'll have to make it up as you go along,I'm afraid. I've moved on from that particular cast of characters and can't really recall.

Thanks again for writing, Laila. I hope you continue to enjoy my books. -----Gordon Korman-----

Computers are a mystery, and thank you for answering my questions. I will definitely watch hypergifted, I’ll be it’s 1# fan. I’ll try to make up some character designs, maybe I’ll post them and you’ll see them. I don’t know if you can attach pictures but it would be cool if I could to this chat thing. Thank you so much for answering my questions, have a wonderful day/night.
