Hunter AmyxI think that you should try to make different series off of your books like restart and the unteachables, and possibly the series could be interconnected.

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased that you like my books enough to want sequels to existing stories.
The fact is that some stories almost ask for sequels, and some are done in one session. MASTERMINDS asked for more, so I did 2 more in the series. The same with THE HYPNOTISTS. In the same way, I felt that RESTART was done in one take. THE UNTEACHABLES would probably have to follow each of the characters with his/her own book, beuse you couldn't expect them to be together in a special class going into high school.
The REAL problem is that I've published, as of now, 105 books. It would take the Library of Congress to follow upon all the sequels I'd have had to put out there! PLUS I'd have had to write them!
BUT I really apreciate your interest and I thank you for your support. -----Gordon Korman-----
