Dear Mr Gordon Korman,

I have recently finished Restart for the second time. And I was still on the edge of my seat lol. Thank you so much for making Restart. I read it for the first time in 5th grade and my class and I were supposed to make a short film about it but it didn't go through, fortunately. I was wondering I'd youre making a sequel or not, it would be fun if you did, but you probably already have a lot on your plate. So it's okay if you don't. Thank you again! Also I love your writing style if that makes sense

Hi, Leylah,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that RESTART made enough of an impression on you that you wanted to go back and revisit it. I'm glad it impressed you the second time around.

Many people have asked if there will be a sequel. I haven't planned one, but I won't rule it out either. I usually offer this stock reply: an indefinite maybe. Not very satisfying, but the best I can do at the moment. Sorry.

Hope you'll check out my newest release, SNOOP,which made the New York Times Bestseller List on its release, and is still on it. Laughs, and even some mystery guaranteed! (RESTART is still on the List after FOUR YEARS!!!)

Thanks again for writing. -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi, Owen,

Thanks for posting. And also, I've been watching your postings on the SNOOP Book Club -- thanks for taking part in that too.

Right now I have no plans for a RESTART sequel, but I won't rule one out. How about what I offer everyone who asks -- an indefinite "maybe?" We'll see.

Enjoy SWINDLE. It was a fun series to write!

Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
