Hi Mr. Korman, big fan of many of your novels. Slacker, Restarted, Unplugged Linked, wouldn't stop reading those on my mom's old kindle when I was in middle school. I'm a senior now, was wondering if you were ever gonna do young adult novels again? Pop and Son of the Mob were really enjoyable and I wish there was more of that type of content, genuinely some of my favorite books I ever read.

Hi, Michael,

Thanks for writing and for your ongoing support! I haven't really done anything in Y/A since someone dubbed me The King of Middle Grade. That's a hard one to live down, mostly because I love it! But there are other Y/A's besides the 2 you mentioned:

DON'T CARE HIGH, A SEMESTER IN THE LIFE OF A GARBAGE BAG, LOSING JOE'S PLACE, and several more, all of which may not be available through normal channels any longer. Like the "Mob" sequel, HOLLYWOOD HUSTLE. Also JAKE: REINVENTED, BORN TO ROCK, and THE JUVIE THREE.

Hope you can find some. I don't think I'll be moving to Y/A any time soon. After all, The King... etc, etc.

Thanks for reaching out. -----Gordon Korman-----
