KevinI read and enjoyed your books as a child in the 80's. Now my kids are reading and enjoying the same books. The Bruno and Boots series are a household favorite. The zany antics of kids causing chaos always makes my children laugh. Even the 17-year-old. Thank you for writing.

Hi, Kevin & family,
Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that my books seem to have gone multi-generational. I appreciate the support from you and your kids. I'm only a few months away from the 50th anniversary of the first one, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL. And the publication of Book # 108, SLEEPLESS, is only a few days away.
Where did all that time go? I know -- I spent it writing. Thanks for reading what I write.
Kindest regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

HollyI came here to share the same thing—I enjoyed your books in the 90s-00s, and now my daughter loves them.
Her ELA classes keep assigning books with dead cats/dogs/family members, making her not want to read at all. She consistently feels sick from anxiety before ELA. So, I shared “No More Dead Dogs” with her (I have a signed copy!) Now she reads your books readily since, so far, you haven’t killed off a beloved character.
We may need a “No More Dead Cats” sequel, since she’s had to read a few of them. Those books hit harder since she loves cats.

Hi. Holly,
Thanks for posting. I get a lot of letters from longtime fans who are now sharing with their kids -- I've even made it as far as a Grandpa and grandkids! But I never get tired of it. Thanks so much for reaching out.
Kindest regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
P.S. I woud NEVER harm a cat! But *** SPOILER ALERT *** better stay away from OLD SCHOOL -- there's a 99-year-old in it who doesn't quite make it to the end of the book.)
