Dana

Hi,

We have recently come to the end of reading the last Bruno and Boots book to our children. These stories have been a terrific addition to our families nightly routine. They have provided much laughter and enjoyment for all of us and we span ages from 8-47! Could there please be one last book, that finds Bruno as the now headmaster at McDonald Hall and a school reunion bringing all the gang back together one last time? These books have meant so much to me as a child moving with my family and it was so great to revisit them with my own kids many many years later.

Please consider one more Bruno and Boots!!

Yours sincerely,

Dana and Family.

Hi, Dana & Family,

Thanks so much for all the nice things you said about my Macdonald Hall series. I'm really thrilled to learn how much the books have meant to you and your growing family. They're pretty special for me too -- they helped launch a career that I've been working at for 105 titles so far, over 45+ years!

I don't know if I could get myself back into Bruno & Boots mode again. It becomes even more problematic when the fine reputation of Canada's founding father, Sir John A. Macdonald, has fallen into a state of confused disrepute. I guess even Bruno Walton would have a problem figuring out politics!

Thanks again for reaching out, Dana. 2028 marks the 50th anniversary of THS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL. You and the family can't miss that, right?

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

That could be a great plot for the book: Headmaster Bruno tries to save MacDonald's hall name and it's legacy

Hi, Jane,

Wow, that's a lot of begging! I have no real plans for another B&B, but I never rule anything out. (That's an indefinite maybe. Sorry, but it's all I've got at the moment.)

Thanks for your loyalty to the series! -----Gordon Korman-----
