Dear Gordon Korman,

I really liked your book Ungifted. I just finished reading it and I am really excited to read the sequels. I was so surprised that Abigail helped Donovan. I also really liked how he compared himself throughout the book to James Donovan. Our class LOVES your books. We have read Unplugged,Restart, Ungifted, and No More Dead Dogs. I would be so happy if you come to our school. Our school is Taylor Mills in Manalapan. Please please please please please come to our school. I would be so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so happy if you came. Also please make a sequel to Unplugged. Me and my classmates always talk about what we think would happen in it. Also please find a way to make Unplugged and Ungifted a movie. Our class has been begging for them. We even went as far as choosing a cast. As you can tell me and my class love you and your books. Also by the time you come ( if you do ) I would be in pine brook or MEMS so please come to those schools too.

From your biggest fan, Dylan DeFede.

Hi, Dylan,

Thanks for posting. I'm happy to hear that quite a few of my books have been going over well with you and the class. I hope you'll plan to read on -- with the recent publication of HYPERGIFTED, there are now 107 titles to choose from. (That seems like a lot, even to me!) As for making movies, that's up to film companies. I just write the stories.

I appreciate your invitation, which has to come from official channels at your school. I do a lot of personal appearances at schools and libraries and bookstores, so I hope we'll meet one day.

Thanks for reaching out, Dylan! -----Gordon Korman-----

To Gordon Korman,

OMG! I didn\'t think you would actually respond. This is crazy. I will definitely ask someone from my school to email you. I am going to the library this week so I can\'t wait to get super gifted. Are you working on any new books? Can you give me a little preview please. Also please make a sequal to unplugged. Would it be called plugged,Super plugged,Hyper plugged? Also as soon as the class heard you responded we all went crazy.

Hi,Dylan,

I appreciate your enthusiasm! Yes, I'm always working on something new. It's called SLEEPLESS, and it will be out this coming July. And there are a couple more projects, but it's too soon to tell anyone about them. I haven't planned a sequel to UPLUGGED, but I won't rule it out. I'll just give you my famous excuse, which offers my "indefinite maybe." Sorry, but that's how thing stand at the moment.

And the title of UNPLUGGED meant no plug-ins for computers or phones, so your title suggestions for an sequel are a no-no.

Regards, --GK--
