Hi Gordon!

I'm very excited to read Old School and I can't wait for Snoop to come out! It's been a goal of mine to read all of your books since I was 13 and I've almost completed that goal. While reading your books, I would always draw what I imagine the characters would look like - even illustrating moments in the book. Half my math papers were covered with drawings of Chase, Link, Theo, and Reef by the end of the school year! This gave me the question: would you ever consider someone adapting your books into graphic novels? I love how many fun and unique characters your books have and I think it would be super cool to have a visual representation of them. If so, I have so many ideas!

By the way, my grandmother told me that when she was working as a school librarian, you were one of the young authors who came to her school. Do you ever remember going to South Bend, Indiana?

Love your books, Sadie

Hi, Sadie,

Thanks for posting and for being such a big fan! I appreciate it very much.

Re: your question. I already have one graphic novel out. It's from THE 39 CLUES series, called "One False Note." And it's a long process, but the first book in the SWINDLE series is being turned into a graphic novel right now. So yes, I've thought of it! I'm pretty sure there will be more of my work turned into graphics as well.

I must have met your Grandmother at her school, Sadie. And isn't it a very small world? We have that as a connection from before you were born!

Thanks again! -----Gordon Korman-----
