KaylaDear Mr. Korman,
Thank you so so much for writing all of these amazing novels! The first book I've ever read from you was the book Restart, and I loved it! I really loved the way you left cliffhangers at the end of all the chapters because it made me want to get into the habit of reading (ESPECIALLY yourrr books!). My class is starting to pick new independent reading books and I am thinking of reading Operation Do-Over, and I can't WAIT to read ittt! I heard that you're writing your 107th book called Hypergifted! Congrats! I hope to be one of the first people to read it! My school is hoping to have you come visit us soon. I hope it happens before I graduate in 2 years!
Here are some questions for you:
-
Are there any books that you have written that you want to write a sequel to?
-
Who's your favorite character you've written?
-
How do you come up with all your ideas?
-
What are your top 5 favorite books you have ever read?

Your questions:
I've written several books that have sequels. heck the lis on the site under THE BOOKS for the titles.
Favorite character? Probably one that nobody ever heard of except my oldtime readers. I have a soft spot for someone with the unusual name of Rootbeer Racinette. (If you speak French, you'll realize that name is Rootbeer Rootbeer.) He's from one of my older books called LOSING JOE'S PLACE.
My ideas come from a whole lot of thinking and plotting. No big mystery; it's just work.
I can't give you 5, but there's Kurt Vonnegut's THE SIRENS OF TITAN and Douglas Adams' THE HITCHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY.
OK? Thanks for your interest. -----Gordon Korman-----
