Hi, Chaney,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad you enjoy my books, especially SLUGFEST. As you might imagine, that one was fun to write too!

Thanks again! -----Gordon Korman-----

I had an idea for a book you could write in the futrue. Im a huge fan of your books and I personally love faker the best, I read restart, Faker, The fort, ungifted, super gifted, unplugged, and linked. I'm going to start reading the final book in the gifted series, but besides that I want to share my idea:
1. Stalked: The main character gets in trouble alot and when he is stuck in the office he finds weird messages related to his personal life he decides to explore this mystery. will he solve it. who is stalking him and why.
Hopefully you can make sense of this and I really hope I see a book based off this in the future. I cant wait to read slugfest.

My name is Asher Anderson I am currently 12 for credits if you write this book.

Hi, Asher Anderson,

Thanks for posting and for your support for my books. And thanks for the 1/2 plot. Yes, it's 1/2. I presume it's up to me to figure out who is stalking your hero, and why. That's the reason it's only 1/2 a plot.

Hope you enjoy SLUGFEST. It's becoming quite popular lately.

Thanks again! -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi Gordon, I am 13 years old and want your opinion on the book that I am writing. I would be honored to receive any feedback you have. Here's the link to the book: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tEpIjNLahuD8uNSQ3NdlzjoQQqsak3fH2PrF8ljjkAM/edit?usp=sharing

Also, I love all your books. Especially Whatshisface.

Sorry, Samuel,

I've had to make it my policy not to read or critique other people's work. I get too many requests and haven't got the time. Plus I'm far from an expert on all styles and genres, so my opinion wouldn't really be a fair one.

Congratulations to you on undertaking such a project. My own career started when I wrote my first book as an English project in 7th grade, so I know how much concentration and hard work it takes. Please find someone you trust -- a favorite aunt, a favorite teacer, an older sibling -- and ask for an honest opinion of your work. And good luck with your writing!

Kindest regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi, Luke,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that OPERATION DO-OVER made such a big hit with you. I've written a lot of stuff, so I hope you'll plan to read more. Re: your request. I haven't planned a sequel, but I wouldn't rule one out. So I guess we can call this "an indefinite maybe."

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