Dear Gordon Kormon,

This past year I read Restart for book club and absolutely loved it. It had an amazing ending and I loved all the plot twists. I wanted to ask you if it is true that a movie production team has bought the movie rights to Restart because I heard that someone working on a script. I also wanted to ask you if you would consider making a sequel to Restart, especially if there there may be a movie in the fue. You are an amazing author and I can't wait to read more of your books in the future.

Sincerely,

Elenna

Hi, Elenna,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that RESTART made suh a strong impression on you. I hope you'll go on to read many more of my books. When SLEEPLESS comes out in early July, it will raise my list to 108 books. So you won't be running out of reading material any time soon if you're after my work!

Re: a sequel to RESTART. I have no plans to do one, but that could change if there's enough interest -- AND if I come up with a great story for it. No promises.

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

P.S. Yes, there is an important film company working on a movie script. Keep your fingers crossed! --GK--

Dear Mr. Kormon,

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, I hope that there is a movie in the future and possibly a second Restart book. I wanted to let you know how happy it made me when I found out that one of the characters in Restart had received the Medal of Honor, especially since my grandfather received the Medal of Honor as well. It was a nice way to kind of connect with the book in that way and made the book even better.

Sincerely,

Elenna

Hi again, Elenna,

It must be a great honor to have a Medal of Honor recipient in your family. I'm glad the one in RESTART made you think of your Grandfather. Thanks for letting me know. --GK--
