Hi, Layla,

Well, what a great idea! I agree! THE UNTEACHABLES would make a fantastic movie.

It’s just that authors write books, and film companies make movies, so you can understand that it’s not up to me. We can just hope that a filmmaker reads the book and agrees with us that it would be a terrific movie. Then they buy the rights from me, have a script written, cast all the actors, and make the movie! 

It all sounds very easy, but I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s a complicated process. But let’s keep a good thought, and maybe luck will find us a filmmaker with good taste who will love THE UNTEACHABLES as much as you did!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write to me.                                  —–Gordon Korman—–
