Hi, Michael,
I don’t know what your previous career was, but you seem to have moved very smoothly into this new one! Thanks for your message, and your support for my books.
Your questions:
1. 3 of the Macdonald Hall/Bruno & Boots series have been made into movies. Plus Disney Channel has done several years of a show called THE JERSEY, based on my MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL CLUB series. And Nickelodeon made a movie of SWINDLE, which has been on TV for several years now. There are a lot of items that are under contract with film companies at the moment, including RESTART, but it’s too soon to tell if there are any movies coming up.
2. Personal favorites? That’s like asking me the fav amng my 3 kids! Seriously, I’m very proud of MASTERMINDS. And I’m fond of THE FORT, which was my 100th effort. Otherwise, my current “favorite” is always the newest release. Watch for HYPERGIFTED, due out in Jan. of 2026 — I note you’ve read the other 2 in the series. And your 4th graders might enjoy THE HYPNOTISTS, also a 3-book series.
3. And yes, I do virtual interviews for classrooms. Details on my office email:

Thanks so much for reaching out, Michael. I hope your classes continue to enjoy my work.
Kindest regards, —–Gordon Korman—–
