Hi!!! I read Masterminds maybe 7 years ago but I saw my little brother reading it the other day and decided to reread it. I still love the books and I think they’re my favorites of yours. I know you’ve been asked the question of sequels many times so I won’t ask, but what do you think their future holds? Do they never get justice? Will they ever visit their parents? What jobs will they have? Will any of them ever marry? Thanks if you ever respond, you’re my favorite writer from my childhood :) !!

Hi, Goop,

Thanksfor posting.

Your questions: The future of the clones: they will succeed in spectacular fashion because they are very smart people by a sort of selective breeding. There is no justice, so they will probably never see their "parents," meaning the people who raised them. As for the people their DNA came from, most of them are dead or in prison -- they were criminals, remember. I think Malik and Amber will marry, and perhaps Eli and Tori too. Clones, I'm told, are infertile, so they will have no children.

Hey, if you got so "into" the story, what would you say about me? Those characters are as real as anyone I actually know!

Thanks again, -----Gordon Korman-----
