DivyaDear Gordon Korman,
Hi! As you can tell by the title you are a huge influence on me these days. I never used to like reading until I read one of your books (level 13 was the first one I read). I loved how exciting it was and for the first time ever I read a book without my mom or teacher forcing me to. Over the years I read many books but I noticed that the ones that stood out to me were all written by the same author - you! I started specifically looking for your books and I loved quite literally every one. Your books keep me reading for hours and if it wasnt for the fact that I need to socialize I would read the entire day! I just finished reading ungifted and it might be my favorite book yet (then again I say that about every book). I can't wait for the sequels to arrive in the mail so I can start reading them!!! I was so happy to find out that they were about Noah because he was by far my favorite charecter. I feel like I can really relate to some of your stories and I like the unique plots. What was your inspiration for writing ungifted?
Thank you so much for writing all the stories that you do and I really really really really really hope you continue the ungifted series!
From Divya.

DivyaI also realized the moment I started reading that ungifted is literally the opposite of the unteachables because Donovan is average but he's being put with a bunch of above average kids and Kiana is being put with kids who are below average (behavior wise). I noticed alot of connections between your books but this one really stood out to me.

Hi, Divya,
Thanks for posting. I really appreciate your suppport for my work. If I can think that I made an avid reader out of you, that would do my personal spirits a whole lot of good!
I hope you enjoy SUPERGIFTED and HYPERGIFTED. I agree -- there's nobody quite like Noah.
Thanks again for your vote of confidence! -----Gordon Korman-----
