Hi Gordon, multi-generational Macdonald Hall family here. I read those books when I was a kid and now my 8 year old son has been reading them, which has really been a pleasure seeing him enjoy them as I did.

We were talking about getting in touch with authors the other day, and he was really interested in writing you a handwritten letter. Is there any way for him to do this (via your publisher or otherwise), and if so, would you be willing to write him a short message back? He would undoubtedly cherish it. Thank you!

Hi, Sean,

Absolutely! Second generation fans are my specialty!

The fastest way is to send it to me at my Canadian address, 784 Centre Street, suite 423, Thornhill, ON, Canada, L4J 9G7.

I'll watch for it. -----Gordon Korman-----

Thanks so much, Gordon. Will do.

Since I have you, for this first generation reader, I was wondering why you renamed the book series and certain of the book titles over time. It comes up because I sometimes call the series Bruno and Boots and my son calls it Macdonald Hall (and the Wizzle War also). Thanks!

Hi again, Sean,

It was Scholastic Canada who renamed those books. Mine not to reason why. --GK--
