    Dear Gorden Korman,

     

    My name is Lia. I am in fourth grade and I live in San Diego, California. I love your books, especially Unplugged. I love that your books have so many twists and turns, and the characters are hilarious. The first one of your books I read was The Unteachables. My mom gave it to me because she was trying to get me to read novels instead of just graphic novels. I had tried with other books before, but I never liked them. Then I read your book. It was super funny and the characters changed throughout the book. I loved it. As soon as I was done I read another one of your books, and I loved that too. The next book of yours I plan to read is Operation Do-Over. I want to read all of them. Thank you for making books that have made me a kid who loves reading novels.

     

    Sincerely, Lia

    Hi, Lia,


    Thanks for posting. I'm really pleased to hear that my books have turned you onto reading novels. I hope you'll want to read many more of them. With the recent release of OLD SCHOOL, I now have a grand total of 105 books to my name! That sounds like a lot, even to me.


    Again, Lia, thanks for writing.                                                                                  -----Gordon Korman-----

    Hi, Aryan,


    Thanks for posting. There will be a little something in the mail for you soon, OK? Meanwhile, I have to remove both your messages to delete your address. Sorry, but it's the only way it works.                                           ---Gordon Korman---

    I am finishing your book, Master Minds.  It is one of your best. I am a 73 year old retired teacher/school librarian. I enjoy reading "kid" books.

    Hi, Iweaver,


    Thanks so much for posting. I'm very proud of MASTERMINDS and the 2 books that complete the series, CRIMINAL DESTINY, and PAYBACK. They're really popular with MG kids, especially the girls, who want to know if it all turns out for Malik and Amber. (Yes, of course it does.)


    Really, thank you for reaching out. It means a lot, especially coming from someone with your work eperience.


                                                     Kindest regards,                                                                 -----Gordon Korman-----
