    Hi, Em,


    That's a tough one! I've written 107 books, and all the characters are "friends" of mine. But I think I'd have to pick Rootbeer Racinette (which translates to "Rootbeer Rootbeer") from LOSING JOE'S PLACE, a Y/A that I wrote many years ago. There was just something endearing about him that I still find irresistible.

    Hi, Abram,


    Thanks for posting.


    I'm not sure I get your question. Is it about sales? Most of my books have sold well, some better than others. e.g. RESTART has been on the New York Times Bestseller List for over 5 years!


    As for my favorite character it's probably Rootbeer Racinette from LOSING JOE'S PLACE, one of my early novels. And I do have a soft spot in my heart for Noah Youkilis  from the "GIFTED" series.


    OK? Thanks again for your interest.                                                      -----Gordon Korman-----

    Hiii I loved your masterminds series and it's one of my favorite books. Do you have a favorite character? And is there any other books you wrote that are like Master Minds?

    Hi, Carolina,


    Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that my MASTERMINDS series has made such a big hit with you. I hope you'll want to go on to read many more of my books. Another series you might enjoy is a 3-book series called THE HYPNOTISTS. But just go to THE BOOKS section of this website, and take your pick. All my stuff is listed there.


    My favorite character? Probably Malik, mostly because he's so very human. He has plenty of faults, but he's a really good person at heart.
