Dear Mr. Korman,

Your writing is amazing. I just finished reading Restart in class and it was really good. I like how there were multiple mysteries in the book and not just one. It made me just keep wanting to read more. I have also read Faker and that book was my favorite. There are so many mysteries in your books I could never predict, like Chase stealing Mr. Solway’s or Logan’s parents being illegal art dealers. How do you come up with ideas for your books? Do you have a favorite or least favorite book you wrote? Do you know all your book’s titles or have you forgotten some? Are the books based on actual people?

from,

Pnina

Hi, Pnina,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that you're becoming one of my super-fans! Thanks for your support.

My ideas come from plain old hard work, and a lot of thinking and plotting.No big mystery; it's just work. My "favorite" book is usually the most recent release. So currently, it's HYPERGIFTED (the sequel to UNGIFTED and SUPERGIFTED) which will be out in just a few days. Everything I write is fiction, Pnina, which means I make it up. But I'm probably in there somewhere, along with some of the people I know. No writer can keep hs life completely separate from his work.

OK? Thanks again! -----Gordon Korman-----
