NoahHi Gordon Korman! I was wondering if you could give me a sneak peek about a book that has not come up with that you are still writing. If not that is ok.
Thank You!

Hi, Noah,
I never give what you call "sneak peeks." But because your name is Noah, and so is the character I'm writing about, here goes:
I'm working on a 3rd book in the "gifted" series, starring characters Donovan Curtis and Noah Youkilis. Laughs guaranteed!
And that's all you're getting! Thanks, though, for your interest!
Regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

AnonymousHi, Gordon Korman! You are one of my favourite authors, despite that I (usually) prefer fantasy over realistic fiction. You probably get requests like this all the time, but could you write a trilogy like the Island, Everest and Dive, but with the main characters going to the moon or another planet?
Thank you for all you do, and God loves you. -

Hi, Anonymous,
Thanks for posting. I'm glad to hear that my books are making a hit with you.
You've probably read enough of my stuff to realize that most of it is realistic fiction. There's always WHATSHISFACE, which is about a cell phone haunted by a character from Shakespearean England. Or the few books in THE MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL CLUB series - there's a lot of fantasy in those. Or the 3 book series THE HYPNOTISTS, which deals in fantasy and special powers. But, alas, I've never put anyone on another planet.
No promises, but you never know, right? Thanks again, A. -----Gordon Korman-----

Raymond JardineWhat if the other planet is Earth? Stan Mflxnys has a whole 4-book series (33⅓% better than a trilogy!) that's pretty fantastical.
- Nose Pickers from Outer Space!
- Planet of the Nose Pickers
- Your Mummy Is a Nose Picker
- Invasion of the Nose Pickers
Also available as a 4-in-1 omnibus: The Ultimate Nose-Picker Collection

Thanks, Raymond. I did think of those, but I thought they were out of print. Man, were they ever fun to write! -Gord-

AnonymousHi again! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you looking through and answering this stuff. I forgot to include this in the last thing I wrote, but I think it’s amazing how you have written over a hundred books and still have unique characters. Of course, there are always a couple characters that are similar: Daphne from Slacker and Amber Lasky from Master Minds, Nathan from The Super-teacher Project and Mike Webster from I Want To Go Home. But people like Rudy, also from I Want To Go Home, are absolutely incredible. I just finished reading I Want To Go Home for the fifth time, and every time I have laughed out loud at one point or another. Thanks for all you do!
