Hi! You are my favorite author, and I absolutely love your books! I live in Dedham Massachusetts , and am a 10 minute drive away from Blue Bunny bookstore! I would love to get to go when your there, but because I am a competitive swimmer, I may not be able to make it! I was so sad when my mom told me this, and am going to try to make it! I am 11 years old, and writing my own book, called The Creative Kid.It is about a girl named Shasha Lynne, and she is the most creative girl on the planet! I must go !

Hi, Elle,

Thanks for postng. I'm honored to be your favorite author. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Hope your swimming schedule will allow you to drop in at Blue Bunny to say hello. I'm also glad to hear that you've become a fellow writer! Good luck and much fun with your writing. It's a career I really love!

Thanks again, Elle, -----Gordon Korman-----

What a sweet message! I hope you\'re able to make it, but if not, keep chasing your swimming dreams. Best of luck with The Creative Kid—it sounds like a fun story, and I hope you keep writing and sharing your imagination with the world!
