Dear Gordon,

My 10 year old son loves your books (and so do I!). We live in Sweden so they're a little tricky to get by, but our local library has bought in a bunch for us (Slugfest, Mixed Up, Operation Do-over and some of the 39 Clues-books). He's read them all, of course! I also buy your books online (Restart, Unplugged, War Stories, The Masterminds trilogy - to name just a few). Your name definitely dominates his bookshelf! He read most of them in a day or two. It's clear that he can't get enough of your stories.

He's turning 11 next month and I'd like to surprise him with a signed copy of one of your books. Maybe even with a personal note, like "For Philip"? I know you have a LOT of fans, so I would understand if this is something you can't do - but I thought I could always try and ask!

Let me know if you can make this special birthday present a reality and how we can make this logistically happen.

Thank you for your time,

Fleur

Hi, Fleur,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that I have fans in Sweden! Thanks for your interest in my work.

I don't send out books, but I do send signed bookplates that can be glued into one or two of your existing books. Plus a special booklet and some bookmarks. If that will be OK, please send your request, including full name and mailing address to my office:

And thanks again for your support!                                                                          -----Gordon Korman-----

Dear Gordon,

Thank you for your super quick and positive response! This is so exciting! I will send the required information to the email address you listed as soon as I've posted this.

You've got quite a few fans in Sweden, actually. I worked as a library teacher at the International School and many students and teachers have enjoyed your books. Especially Restart was a read-aloud hit in the Fourth Grade!

When I asked my son which "Gordon Kormon-book" he wanted for his birthday, he said, "All of them". I think we need to buy a new bookshelf...

Thanks again for your time and answer! My son will love the signed bookplates.

Warm Regards,

Fleur
