Hey Mr. Korman!

I wanted to first off say that I love your books and they really changed me. I first read Restart in fourth grade (I\d never read any other of your books then) and I loved it! The summer after, I read it aloud to my little sister, and now we both do read aloud of your books together, which really brought us together. Since then, we’ve read Slugfest, Swindle, and the entire Masterminds series, which we just finished.

Anyway, it would really be great if you wrote a sequel. I know that you probably have a ton of other ideas, and Restart is just one of over a hundred books, but for me it’s what brought me and my sister together. I think it would be nice to tie up some loose ends too. Like, it says that the film club teacher was trying to fix that Chase was the only winner of Warrior, so it would be nice for Shoshanna to win too. Also, maybe expand on the characters Aaron and Bear. I feel like for being such a large part of Chase\’s past they were a bit underdeveloped. All I really was able to tell was that Aaron was slightly smarter than Bear, so maybe something where Aaron and Chase confront Bear. Another thing I felt was not revisited was Joel, Chase, and Shoshanna. And forgiveness. It would be really cool to see a sequel with all this in it, and some more Chase flashbacks that show his past. Maybe you could set it in everyone’s freshman year of high school, or late 8th grade. Just some ideas! I write stories too, so I know how hard it can be to write something when you have so many other plans, and you definitely get a ton of ideas!
