Dear Gordan Korman,

         I absolutely loved the book restart! It had so many important details. Also you should definitely make it into a movie because that would be my favorite movie ever! The book was so great and I loved how you started it with a great hook! Also how long did it take you to write restart?

                                                 From,

                                                 Evie

Hi, Evie,

Good question. It took me 8 months to complete the first draft of RESTART until it was ready to hand in to my editor. Then it took a few instances of polishing up, and presto! It was a book! -----Gordon Korman-----
