Just an idea but is there going to be another Macdonald Hall book because I love reading those even though I understand that they can't stay in school forever but just wondering? Also is there anything other then friendship going on between Bruno and Cathy or Diane and Boots because there isn't in the books but there is in the movie, and if you did another book would you develop that? Thank you!

Hi, LM,

Thanks for your posting and your support for the Macdonald Hall series. I'm glad you've seen the movies too. A lot of the fans missed that. Did you manage to find all 7 books in the series and see all 3 films?

There probably won't be any more. I wrote them such a long time ago that I don't think I could get back into B&B mode any more! In the books, there was nothing more than friendship going on between the boys and the girls. But movie makers have to show a lot more than just a few words, so it did look like a boyfriend-girlfriend thing. I didn't intend it that way at the time. If I were to write another couple of books, I might try to develop that, but only a little. As it existed, it wasn't much in the way of romance anyway, right?

Thanks for your interest. The 50th anniversary of THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL is coming up in a couple of years, so there might be something done to mark that anniversary. You never know.

Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi,Eli,

You don't mention what titles you're looking for. If you mean the most recent releases, they're all over bookstores, especially big chains like Barnes & Noble. All you have to do is ask and they'll order copies for you. They're titles like: OLD SCHOOL, FAKER, and SLUGFEST, right? And, on July 1st the newest one, SNOOP, is about to be released.

It shouldn't be a problem at all. --GK--

They will be harder to find. Try a Canadian bookseller, like Chapters Indigo. -G-
