Dear Gordon Korman,

I would really like to know about your headcanons of the Awesome Threesom, Melody Boxer, Freeland McBean (String), Xavier Meggett, and Daphne Leibowitz would be. Also, I would like to ask you what Strings football jersey number is.

Hi, Samerson,

Thanks for posting.

A few minutes ago, I wasn't sure what a headcanon was. But computers know everything! You want to know how I personally see my characters. Here goes: Melody is small and vivacious and giggly, but very capable of serious concentration. Freeland is blonde, agile, kind of goofy, and very athletic and sure of himself. Xavier would be a big guy, large but not fat, a bit slow-moving, dark hair, dark skin, brooding eyes, super-serious. And Daphne would be any way you might picture a pesty pushy pain in the neck, but a nice person after all. And I have no idea what number The String would wear -- 88 perhaps, like CeeDee Lamb, a great wide receiver. Or a former great, Jerry Rice, who wore 80 and was THE BEST EVER!

OK? This is my first effort at headcanons, soI hope I haven't messed it up too badly. Happy drawing.

Regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

How did you guess our headcanon was that Xavier was a little bit plus sized and looks emo, are you a mind reader

No guessing. That's the way I wrote him, and it seems that it came through. --GK--
