LukeDear Gordon Korman
I loved reading your book Restart but I have a couple questions.
First, why did you not make a movie for Restart its so good and lots of people probably want to see what the characters look like. Also, what's your favorite book you have written. How long does it take to write your books or specifically saying Restart. Who is your favorite character in Restart my class favorite is Brendan so is mine. How do you pick the character names do you just pick a random name or pick a name from someone you know. Finally, how do you name the book do you write the book first and whatever it is about you name the title or do you just do the opposite. In, conclusion you are a great author. This is the last time I am going to say this but Restart is amazing.

Fizzy is right. Authors write books, and film companies make movies.
My favorite character in RESTART is Chase himself. Names are special to me. Im not sure how I pick a name, but I know I have to feel that it suits the character. -----Gordon Korman-----
