    Hi Mr. Gordon


     


        I loved snoop and I'm currently reading faker in class.  I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a fourth grader.

    Hi, Alexis,


    Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to see that you've started reading my books. I'm glad you enjoyed SNOOP. I hope FAKER makes a hit with you too.


    You asked for suggestions for a 4th grader,but you didn't mention in regard to what. If you want to be a writer, the rule is to read a lot and write a lot too. That's the best way to prepare yourself for the fluent use of language. And ALWAYS plan your work before you start the actual writing. Believe me, planning is everything!

    Hi again, Alexis,


    Me too! I love novels. If you enjoy old-fashioned stories that are charming and funny, thereis a series called THE GREAT BRAIN by John Fitzgerald that you might enjoy. And there are a gazillion books under the title THE BABYSITER'S CLUB that a lot of girs rally enjoy. And if you're after my books, just check out THE BOOKS section of this website. They're listed there, all 107 of them! Take your pick.


                                        Happy reading!                                                                                         --GK--

    Hi Mr. Gordon Korman


    Thanks for responding!!! I am half through Masterminds now, it’s super good, I just hope you to know about it.


    Actually we are reading Masterminds in my English class. We made a chart of clues in the book (I wish I can upload an image of it but I can’t). I am super exciting about the next chapters about the book, especially when I got so many clues written down!!!

    Hi, Alexis,


    A lot of people have asked for a book about that. But I think Trey, at least, is cured of his larcenous ways. It may be fun to see if he can get Logan out of "the life." No promises!                                                                    --GK--

    Hi, Julianne,


    Thanks for posting. Upcoming 7th graders are just the right age for something like OLD SCHOOL or SNOOP. And I have one coming up in a few days that I'm really excited about -- it's called SLEEPLESS. And 11-14 year-olds really seem to enjoy SLUGFEST, which is about a group of kids who, for various reasons, many of them vaguely unfair, have to go to summer school.


    Whatever you choose, I hope it will make a hit! Thanks for your support for my work.                    ---Gordon Korman---
