Hi Mr Korman!! I absolutely love your books and have been reading them for years!! My top 5 are The fort, ungifted, super gifted, unplugged, and operation do- over (which had such a crazy ending because what do you mean he has a whole new life now?!) but the fort is definitely my favorite and I’ve re read it about 10 times already! Your stories are always so creative and funny and enjoyable! Thank you so much for them and for giving me these amazing books!!!!

Hi, Frieda,

Thanks for posting and for saying all those nice things about my books, notably THE FORT. That was special to me because it was Book #100, so I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. I appreciate your ongoing support!

Hey there Gordon Korman,

I really love your books, and now I am reading Notorious. I think your books are hilarious, and they always have a twist or turn. I\'m only in 6th grade, and I\'ve already read 60 books and counting. Isn\'t that awesome? Okay, enough about me. I can\'t wait to read Hypergifted! I bet it\'ll be awesome, no? Wait, don\'t tell me, I want to read it. Oh yeah, and I want to be an author when I grow up. I know, crazy, right? Well, anyway, I was hoping you would tell me a little cool fact about being an author to make me feel better. But it\'s okay if you don\'t. I\'m only a sixth grader anyhow. I have so much to say to you, but don\'t want to say too much, so Mr. Korman, please respond. I can\'t wait! EEEK!!

In all awesomeness,

Sarah

Hi,Sarah,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that my books are going over so well with you. I hope you'll read your way through my whole list, which now stands at 107 titles!

You ask for a little cool fact about being an author? I wrote my first book, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL, as a 7th grade English project when I was 12. Hmmm. And you're in 6th this year ... it's never too early to start writing!

Thanks again, Sarah, -----Gordon Korman-----

Dear Korman,

Oh wow, I didn't expect a response, haha! But anywho, wow! 12 years old? You know, I'm writing a book too. But... it's only a rough draft. I'm not going super crazy yet. I don't really know if it's even correct. But still, thanks! That actually really encouraged me (since I've practically given up on it). I hope I do read them all, because my book goal is 100. Oh, and I think you're super cool. Like, the coolest (that sounds lame 😅). Okay, I digress. A liiittle off track there. I'm probably talking too much, so I'm going to leave it at this. For now. Maybe.

Way too much energy,

Sarah
