Dear Mr Korman,

I just finished reading one of your books Restart. I loved how you put funny parts and parts that are so detailed. The part that was my favorite was when Chase was bringing the medal of honor back to Mr. Solway, then Bear and Aaron stopped him from bring it to him. Another part that was my favorite when everybody started clapping for Chase at the end. I am wondering why you added the last chapter about Brenden Espinoza, I thought you were just going to end the book the second to last chapter about Chase. I hope you make another book similar to Restart, because I loved it. Why did you decide to add another chapter to the end, I thought you would end the chapter with Chase.

Thank you so much I hope you write back!.

Dear Mr. Korman,

since i was in kindergarten, i have been reading you books, waiting for the fateful day when i wasn't able to read them anymore. i never realized how many books you had written until i got curious and looked it up 20 minuets ago. i have always loved your books, and was successful in persuading to school library to buy more. my favorite one of your books is either operation Do-Over, or the entire Swindle series. and then 2nd would be The Fort. my question to you is were do you get all of this inspiration? and how do you make everything so detailed and perfect, like you can just crawl into thier heads? did you ask Wallace Wallace for help with the books? im just kidding. anyways, you are my idol author.

Hi, Annabell,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that you've been a loyal fan since kindergarten. Where do I get the inspiration? From a lot of thinking and plotting. No big mystery; it's just work. And I thank you for your ongoing support.

Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
