Hi Gordon!

I know that MASTERMINDS series is probably over but I was wondering if you've ever thought about writing a prequel about Project Osiris and how Tamara Dunleavy and Felix Hammerstrom came up with it. I think it would be pretty interesting. Also who is your favorite character from MASTERMINDS and why?

Thank you!

Hi, Lily,

I'm wondering if you're the same person who wrote yesterday. The message was somehow corrupted, making it impossible for me to reply. So I erased it, in the hope that the person (you?) would write again.

ANYWAY ... MASTERMINDS is pretty much over, and yet I won't rule out a sequel. No prequel, though, mostly because there are no kids in the planning of Serenity, and that's not good for a middle grade novel.

My own favorite character was Malik, mostly because he was very human, had plenty of faults, was a little selfish, and in spite of it all, was a great kid and a loyal friend.

OK? Thanks for reaching out. I'm glad MASTERMINDS went over so well with you.

Kindest regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
