Hello Mr. Korman,

I love the book "Operation Do-Over" and was wondering if a sequel for it was within the realm of possibility.

I was thinking that a good idea for this could be the five years that we don't see in the book. This being the years between the Harvest Festival when Mason is 12 and when he wakes up at age 17 at the football game. I think that this could be achieved in a unique way by having Mason remember his own past at the same rate that the reader does. It could be told through the perspectives of the other characters, as they are sharing it to Mason. I hope you consider this request.

Thank you for your time,

Emmett Lyon

P.S. This is my favorite book ever, and a sequel for it would make me SO happy.

Hi,Emmett,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that OPERATION DO-OVER went over so well with you.

Your idea is a solid one, but I don't know if I'll be writing it. The best I can offer you is a promise that I would never rule out a sequel or, in this case, I guess we could call it a "fill-in." I realize that 's an indefinite maybe, but it's the best I can do at the moment, what with the books I've written since "Do-Over" and the comitments I've made for future works.

Thanks for the idea, though. Maybe someday. -----Gordon Korman-----
