ElishaDear Mr. Korma,
I just finished Restart. I really loved this book. I myself really am a hater to books, but now you're the reason why I started to like books even more. I loved how after every chapter you did not just go straight to the end you just kept it going through every chapter. I was cheering Chase on for him to change. Also when you did not make Aaron and Bear to change. That is one of the reasons why I loved it. I am reading Linked for my summer book, so I hope it's gonna be good. I can't believe that you are about to make your 107th book. I can't believe you read it. I hope you write back to me. I have some questions for you.
What made you start to write books?
Since I like basketball, can you make a basketball book with Chase coming back to become a basketball star?

Thanks for your friendly letter. If I had anything to do with making a reader out of you, then I'm VERY happy! I hope you're also enjoying LINKED.
Why did I start writing? My first book started with a 7th Grade English assignment to write what the teacher called "a novelette." I guess he just wanted a story that didn't end after the first page. I got really into it, and quite accidentally wrote the story that turned into my first book, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL. That was almost 50years ago. I've been writing ever since.
OK? Thanks again, Elisha. -----Gordon Korman-----
