    Dear Gordon Korman,

    This is 2 grade 6 students speaking from our teachers email to be specific. We read Restart, Unplugged and Son of the Mob. We think you are a great writer and author. We were introduced to your books by our grade 5 teacher and now we are making a 2nd book to unplugged called Unsafe. When we are done we would love to send it to you by google docs.

     

    Our main idea for unsafe: after spending 4 years in prison, Ivory escapes and goes to the Oasis to get revenge on the people who sent her to prison. she kidnaps Magnus and sets the oasis on fire. Jett and his team lizard group have to survive a long with all of the Oasis guests and their kids. However all the parents left so its team lizards responsibility to take care of sick kids. If you have any sugggestions please tell us because we are only at chapter 7 and we need something else exciting. 1 thing we think is funny is that we made Tyrell and Grace date and also now they are 16 in our book because we figured they were 12 in unplugged so know after 4 years they are 16. 

    Anyways feedback would be great. bye

    Ginevra and Louise

    Fans of your books

    PS: Please respond

    Hi, Ginevra & Louise,


    Thanks for posting. I'm really pleased to hear that you're both such big fans. I hope you'll want to go on to read many more of the books on my long list. Next up: HYPERGIFTED, which will be#107! Due in early February.


    When I wrote UNPLUGGED, I never dreamed of the evil Ivory escaping and returning to her evil ways, like attacking The Oasis! What a crisis! There will be nothing to eat but celery. Oh, wait, that's the stuff they were eating anyway, isn't it?


    You seem to be doing a great job all on your own. You don't need me coming up with a dull detail! But some alligator intrusions might be fun, right?


    Have fun with it!                                                                                    -----Gordon Korman-----

    Hi Gordon, It's Liam again and I need to tell you about my book that i'm writing (I'm 10 yrs old)  The book is called WATCH UP


    Blurb ⬇


    Evan, Ethan and Daniel are taking a walk in the woods when they suddenly find muddy footsteps behind them. Who could this be? circles their mind while they stare back behind. They try to backtrack but suddenly see a dark figure behind them. "Let's go home quick!" cries out Evan. "Shhh" calls back Daniel.
