Hi Mr. Korman,

I just want to thank you for writing such hilarious and touching books over the years. They were such a wonderful part of my childhood. I am thrilled to now be sharing them with my children. The first of your books that I read to them was my tattered copy of “I Want to Go Home”. We spent most of our time on the floor laughing and yelling “Shut up, Greene!” and “Miller!” at each other. You are a Canadian treasure! My kids and I can’t wait to see you at the Forest of Reading Festival, which also happens to be my eldest son’s birthday. He is so excited that he gets to meet you on his big day (I will do my best to make sure he doesn’t yell “Shut up, Greene!” when he sees you).

Hi, Colten,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad to hear that RESTART made such a big hit with you. Yes, I'll keep writing if you'll keep reading. Do we have a deal? -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi, Joseph,

Thanks for posting. I'm glad to hear that RESTART went over so well with you, and that your buddy is an ISLAND trilogy fan. I hope you'll both go on to read many more of my books. The next one will be out in early July -- it's called SLEEPLESS.

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