I love the books Gordon Korman wrote. One of my favourites is the Superteacher Project. I am so exited for Old School (since I'm in Canada). Anyone else want to share their favourite books?

Hi, Tommy,

Thanks for posting. The Reader's Forum Group is planning to start a Book Club for discussion on OLD SCHOOL very soon. All welcome. I hope you'll watch for it in "Talking About Books" and join in. --GK--

Hi, Mila & Nahla,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that UNPLUGGED went over so well with you. I hope you'll go on to read many more of my books. As of last week's publication of OLD SCHOOL, I now have 105 books out there for you to choose from! So you won't be running out of reading material any time soon!

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

Hi again, N&M,

Good to hear from you again. My ideas come from plain old hard work, and a lot of thinking and plotting. It's just work. I think it works this way: accountants are good with numbers, musicians are good with tunes, and authors are good with coming up with story ideas.

Mostly, I'm glad you find my stuff interesting and creative.

Best regards, --GK--

Hi, Mariana,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad that OPERATION DO-OVER made a hit with you. I enjoyed writing it, even though going in and out of the two time periods got a little complicated! I think, though, that the story has been pretty completely explored, so there probably won't be a sequel. -----Gordon Korman-----

From Doha Qatar,

Gordon Korman,

From one Canadian to another, well done! I am a 5th Grade Literacy Teacher at American School of Doha. We finished reading \'The Fort\' and just received a copy from the library of \'Faker:\' both classes are so excited for read aloud! We would love for you to visit us some day: I will start the conversation with the powers that be. I know we are very far away but wanted you to know our students, from all over the world, love your work.

Regards, Mr. Martin

PS It is + 22 with no snow...and it is winter. Just saying.

Hi, Mr. Martin & Students,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm pleased to hear that my books are making a hit in Doha! I hope FAKER is popular too.

Your invitation, however tentative, is tempting indeed! I am looking out the window at more snow than I have seen for a very long time. And the temperature is 17 degrees Fahrenheit at high noon. Ouch!

Thank you, Mr. Martin and 5th grade! -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi, AN,

I presume you mean sequel? I haven't planned one, but what good idea! I've got a lot of other commitments, but I'll certainly think about it -- no promises. (That's what we call an indefinite maybe!) ---GK---
