Hi, Ms. Harris & Class,

Thanks for posting. I’m pleased to hear that ISLAND went over so well with you!

The reason Percy Jackson is on TV and ISLAND isn’t is very basic: Rick Riordan didn’t put it there; Disney did. And they don’t appear to be interested in ISLAND. Sorry. It’s just that authors don’t make TV shows; film companies like Disney do. Sigh. Believe me, I’d love to see ISLAND (and my other trilogies, EVEREST and DIVE) make it to television!

But thanks for the praise, and thanks for the thought!                           —–Gordon Korman—–
