Hey! 

Just curious-- which books of yours do you think are suited for older teens(15+), and which ones are more suited for really young kids(under 10)? I think your books generally have a pretty large age demographic, but are more targeted towards those ~11-13, so I'm interested to know if there's any books that target older or younger kids. 

Thanks, Audrey

Hi, Audrey,

Thanks for posting. You're right - the bulk of my output is Middle Grade age. But there are some Y/As too.

Older: DON'T CARE HIGH; SON OF INTERFLUX; A SEMESTER IN THE LIFE OF A GARBAGE BAG; LOSING JOE'S PLACE; SON OF THE MOB; SON OF THE MOB:HOLLYWOOD HUSTLE; JAKE, REINVENTED; BORN TO ROCK; THE JUVIE THREE; POP. Some of them will be hard to find, but you should be able to acquire a few.

Younger: RADIO FIFTH GRADE; WHY DID THE UNDERWEAR CROSS THE ROAD?; LIAR,LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE;

Hope that's helpful.  Best regards,                                                                         -----Gordon Korman-----

Gord,

That upper list is more of my favourite works of yours (though I like it all, really). Any plans for some future works that would fit on that list?

Not sure that there's any real difference, Darren. I mean, I'm not the boy writer any more, but the stuff I turn out today seems to me to be very much like "Joe's Place" or POP. I think maybe I must have changed, so it's possible that what you see is what you get. Can it be that the younger Darren saw it as differently as I did when I was writing it?  I dunno. (Now, does that sound like "maybe it's you?" Sorry!)                                                                                                       ---G---

Fair enough, Gord!
I'm still working my way through your catalog chronologically, the latest batch including the Swindle series and I just had the assumption the newer stuff might be closer to that level than the Born To Rock level. Since you hadn't put any of the newer works in that list, it reinforced that assumption.
Hopefully I can post today about the latest chunk of works I've gone through, been trying to find time for the last few weeks.

Hi again, Darren,

I think you'll find as you go along that the SWINDLE stuff is a little younger than my normal output. But that's only my opinion, The reader is king!                                                                      --G--
