I recently just finished reading Restart. It was a really amazing book and I liked how there was a mystery of who stole Mr. Solway's medal. I really love playing basketball and I would definitely read your basketball book if you made one and others would definitely want to. Also you should definitely make a part 2 of Restart about Chase and the others from his grade in high school. It is a good idea.

Here are some questions I have:

Can you please make a basketball book?

Can you make a part 2 of Restart?

And please write back!!!

Sincerely,

Kobi

Hi, Neal,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to see that RESTART made a hit with you. I hope you'll go on to read many more of my books.

Your question: I've written 107 books so far, and there must be a little soccer here and there in some of them. I'm a soccer fan too. But I've never done one specifically about soccer. Maybe one day.

Wish your Mom good luck on her book. I've never tried to write my life story, and I think she's brave to try. And I'll pass on the facial, but thanks anyway.

Yes, this is me writing back to you. I try to get to all my fan mail.

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

Hi, Kobi,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that RESTART went over so well with you that you're asking for a sequel. I don't plan one, but I wouldn't rule it out, either. How about I offer you what I tell all the RESTART fans who want more -- I give you an "Indefinite Maybe." Sorry, but it's the best I can do right now.

As for basketball, I can't really promise too much. Sorry. I do a lot of football stories, and there's some hockey. And I've even done girls' field hockey. But basketball just never made it with me. Sorry.

Thanks again, Kobi -----Gordon Korman-----

Dear Mr. Korman,

Restart was my favorite book I have ever read! I really enjoyed it because of all the twists and turns drama and action with in the book. I like the school theme so then I can relate to it as much as I can. I want to know whats your secret? Like how do you come up with that if I tried to make a book it would be really weird honestly. One more question do you have any more books that can be simpler to Restart pleas tell me if you reply.

Hi Mr. korman

My teacher Mrs. Daftari is really inspired of all your books so we are reading your book Linked for our summer book and I was wondering if you would want to see my essay that we would have to write about.

This might be the same post I sent 10 mins ago but I didn't see it go through so I made a different one.

Would you want to see my essay because I would want you to see it?

Sincerely,

Kobi
