Hi Gordon Korman,

I just found out about your books for next year, 2026. I saw their titles are Sleepless(July 2026) and Hypergifted (February 2026). Is there anything else you can tell us about these books? Also, do you have titles for your 2027 books. How long before a release date do you start writing a book.

(P.S. I told my friend about the gifted books and he told me you should make a book called Just Gifted)

Hi, GK Fan,

Thanks for posting. It's nice to know that someone is out there waiting for the new stuff!

SLEEPLESS is a standalone, and HYPERGIFED is a follow-up to UNGIFTED and SUPERGIFTED. To give you an idea of how long it takes from the time I hand in a manuscript until the publisher releases it, I completed HYPERGIFTED a whole year ago, and it's coming out 6 months from now. Editing, certain rewrites by the author, and cover design are a lengthy process.

I have other books in the works, but it's too soon to tell you aything about them right now.

Thanks for waiting! I hope you find it all worth waiting for. -----Gordon Korman-----

I just was looking on Google and I found cover for Sleepless, the book I was asking about before and I want to know if its real. Also, I was wondering if there is any new graphic novels of your books and the release date(if you know).

Cover:

Thanks!

A big fan!

Hi, GK Fan,

Yes, that's the cover for SLEEPLESS. It's a picture of a dog named Baldy. ----Gordon Korman----

Oops, sorry. As you probably know, graphic novels take a long time because they require a lot of art work. There is one in the works for SWINDLE. And I think Scholastic Canada is working on one for the 50th anniversary of THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL, which was my very first book all those years ago. That annivrsary is coming up in about a year or two. Who remembers that far back???

Thanks for your interest. ---GK---
