Dear Gordon Korman,

I just read the mastermind series for the first time (Great series (top 5 at least)) and on this forum I've read that the reason you haven't done a book 4 is because it isn't needed (I agree) and the only thing big it could possibly include is Ambers and Maliks wedding and since reading the 3rd book (finished just now actually) you can clearly tell they end up together even if you didn't add that elsewhere but my question is do you think Eli and Tori would/do end up together? It's the subtle hints that make people think they could possibility eventually end up together. I know, weird question but kinda intriguing to see what the author himself thinks.

Sincerely,

HidingBookLord

P.S. I wish more authors did these forums, good on you for doing these whilst creating books

Hello, HidingBookLord,

Not a weird question at all!

What you really want to know is what the author INTENDED, right? I intended Tori to be totally smitten with Eli, and Eli just too involved in the action to even notice. Gradually, he notices. So yes, absolutely, Tori and Eli are an item.

Glad you enjoyed MASTERMINDS. It was a really amazing writing experience. Not fun for the most part, but eminently satisfying. Thanks for your comments about it. -----Gordon Korman-----
