Dear Gordon Korman,

HI! My name is Allison, i’m 9 years old, and i just started reading your book “RESTART” I’m only on page 24, and I already love it! Now that I’m writing this letter to you, I’m starting to want to write a book just like restart! I love the wording, the Messages, and just a whole book is amazing! ( well up to page 24 at least lol!) my friend Sophia also loves your books and thinks you’re a great inspiration to both of us! we also live in your town! We go to E.M. Baker and we know that you already visited and 2017 but we weren’t there yet! Maybe you could set up a field trip at the main library for fourth and fifth grade this year! maybe you could set something up with our library teacher! Since were your biggest fans, we would LOVE to be the first to read your next book!(if you make one. Hope you do!)

Sincerely,

Allison😃📖👓🧠🧡

Hi, Allison,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that RESTART is making a hit with you. I hope you'll want to read many more of the books on my long list.

My speaking engagements are by invitation, whch means I have to be officialy invited. Yes, I've been to Baker more times than you know, as my 3 kids all went to school there! I'd be happy to be invited back one day.

Thanks again for writing, Allison.

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