Dear Mr. Korman,

My name is Leo and I'm in Grade 5. I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta. I love all of your series especially Ungifted, Old School, MacDonald Hall and SlapShots. I really like the humour and time you put into them.

Is there any chance that you would write a 5th book in the SlapShots series? I think SlapShots is really funny and amazing and my favourite characters are Cal, Alexia and Chipmunk. I think everyone in the world should know who are and take the time to read your books!

Yours truly,

Leo

Hi, Leo,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that you're such a big fan. I hope you''ll be glad to know that UNGIFTED has a sequel, SUPERGIFTED. And a third book will be out next year, called HYPERGIFTED. As for SLAPSHOTS, it was really fun to write, but I did them more than 25 years ago, and I don't think I could get back into SLASHOTS mode after all this time. Sorry. But I'll certainly think about writing more about hockey one of these days.

Thanks again, Leo. -----Gordon Korman-----
