Hi, Gordon Korman!

I absolutely loved reading Old School, and both of my parents, who seem to not like books for tweens as much, loved them. I just had a few questions.

1. I've noticed that at the end of lots of your books, you'll find at least one couple, like Breandan and Kimberley, I thought I saw somewhere else that you said Amber and Malik, and I wanted you to confirm that, and/or any other possible ones that haven't been obviously announced.

2. I heard something about a third book in the gifted series (hypergifted?) I was wondering if that was still on or not.

3. I love all the humor in the books, but I've noticed a couple things that are not quite on the surface. Are there any inside jokes or just less noticeable ones?

Thanks for your time, 

Maddox

Hi, Maddox,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad OLD SCHOOL made a hit with you and your folks. As you can imagine, it was fun to write, too!

Your questions: If you're looking for couples, how about the latest pair, The Geezer and Gianna?

HYPERGIFTED is on the way, but it's going to take until 2026, I think.

Inside jokes? Maybe. I wouldn't tell, of course, which is the very reason they're "inside." But basically, what you see is what you get. I share my stuff with my readers, But, of course, my personal feelings and prejudices come through in the writing.

OK? Thanks again, Maddox & Co.                                                                      -----Gordon Korman-----
