LiaDear 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

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-----
