Dear Mr. Korman,

I loved reading your book Restart, I thought it was amazing! It would probably not be a book I would choose on my own, but I am really glad my teacher picked it for our class novel. I have also read another one of your books Faker and I loved it. It was also an amazing book. I am going to read The Unteachables next and I am very excited. I hope I will enjoy it. I have a question for you. I was wondering if you would maybe write a short prequel to Restart? Like what Chase was like before his accident and some of the things he did. I think it would get readers really understanding what Chase was like before his accident.

All the best,

Sophie S.

Hi,Sophie,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad RESTART has you reading some of my books. There will be 107 of them soon, with the publication of HYPERGIFTED in Feb., so you won't run out of reading material if it's my stuff you're after!

Re: a prequel. I don't plan one at the moment, but I wouldn't rule it out. How about I give you what I call "an indefinite maybe?"
