Hi Gordon Korman,

Would you be interested in releasing "I Want to Go Home" in a dyslexic-friendly font?

My coworker has just discovered at 62 years old that he has dyslexia, and that he can read the dyslexia font.

He has lived his whole life not being able to read novels and books, and I wanted to gift him my favourite book since i was like, eleven, and i think he'll really enjoy it.

But i cant find it in a dyslexic-friendly version.

If you aren't able to do this, could i get your permission to transcribe it myself for him? I would not be selling or profiting of it, or changing information or anything.

I just want to give him my favourite book as a gift.
