I love your book "Restart" It is so interesting, and guess what I have read one of your other books it was called "I want to go home" and it's one of my favorite books of all time I love how funny it is. I have a few questions for you, first, what was the first book you ever wrote? And what is your favorite book you wrote? My favorite character from "Restart" is Kimmy because she is so funny. I have one more question for you, do you recommend any of your other books for me? Thank you so much for spending your time reading this.

Sincerely, Ellie B.

Hi,Ellie B.,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad to hear that RESTART went over so well with you. I'm also pleased that you enjoiyed I WANT TO GO HOME, which was an important book for me as a 15-year-old author 'way back when!

The first book I wrote was called THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL. It was #1 of the 7-book Macdonald Hall series about Bruno & Boots. There have been movies made on that series too.

When OLD SCHOOL was published last week, it made my booklist 105 items long. Do I recommend any of them for you? I sure do. They're basically aimed at Middle School and young High School, and I think that's you, right? Laughs guaranteed, and even some excitement and suspense!

Thanks again, Ellie. -----Gordon Korman-----
