    Hello, I am a student who is a big fan of your books. I recently joined theater, and would like to write a play based on your book, “The Unteachables”. However, I would like to do it without the lawsuits, so I would like to make sure that you are ok with this. Thank you for your time, and pleeeeeeeeease reply this time.

    Hi Mr Korman


    I am a Literature teacher in Argentina and we are finishing our school year with 2nd Secondary / 8th grade and as we chose your Unteachables as core part of our curriculum, we would like to share the many things we did to get fully engaged through the novel. 


    Please take a look!

    Ok, thanks! I thought my post didn’t go through. Just in case he/she wants to know, this will only be preformed once, and then never used again. And that’s assuming that they like what I wrote and allow it to preformed. Thanks again,

    Hi, Ms. Duarte,


    This is my first message from Argentina, so you can imagine how thrilled I am to get your letter! Thank you so much for sending me your record of the things your class did while reading THE UNTEACHABLES! I really enjoyed seeing all that and knowing the parts of the book and the characters that the readers enjoyed most. That's always helpful to me as a writer.


    And a note to the class -- thanks so much, people! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the book. I'm also happy to note your different reactions to parts of the story. As you can imagine that book was fun to write too, so I'm glad you had fun reading it.


    Thanks again everyone!                                                                                     -----Gordon Korman-----
