Dear Mr. Korman,

I hope you are having a nice summer.

I don't know if you remember me but I wrote to you last year about a project I was doing on 'No More Dead Dogs.' Thanks to you, I got 100% on that project!

And now...I've officially done it! I have read every single one of your books! From the very first MacDonald Hall to your brand new Snoop! It took a little longer than I expected because some of the out of print ones were hard to find. Well, no, that's not exactly true. They were pretty easy to find, but they cost a LOT of money. So my mom and I patiently searched online thrift stores for months and I can now finally proudly say I have read all 109 of your books!!!! And yes, I know you've actually only published 106 books, but I've even read both versions of the three MacDonald Hall ones that you edited and republished so I'm adding those to the count.

The very first one of your books I ever read was 'The Unteachables.' It was the optional summer reading book in my school three years ago when I was in 4th grade. And I was hooked! I got everyone in my family to read it after that (even my grandpa in Toronto) and they all loved it too.

My favorite series of yours is MacDonald Hall. I felt like I could see how your writing developed between books, which was really cool! I also really liked your Everest series because I'm a big fan of unexpected endings.

My favorite standalone book of yours is 'No Coins, Please.' I loved how funny it was and I liked how Artie was sort of the main character even though the book wasn't from his point or view. Some of his money-making schemes really made me laugh!

Thanks for being my favorite author. I can't wait for the next Ungifted book!

From,

D F

Congrats on reading all of Gord's works, DF.

It's quite a project to undertake but well worth it!
