Hello, Mr. Korman!

I am an 8th grade teacher at a small school in Texas serving grades 5-8, and I am a big fan of your books! I am starting a program at my school this spring where the entire school will read one book at the same time. We have chosen Restart for our first campus-wide novel study. We are super excited, and are currently working on fundraising to get each English teacher on our campus a class set of the novel. I would appreciate it if you could pass along the link to anyone who might be interested in donating to our project through Donors Choose.

Thank you for writing great books for our kids!

Hi, Haylee,

Thanks for posting and for your support for my books. I'm pleased to hear that RESTART is going to be the All-School Read for your school next Spring. It's been a huge hit, and has been on the New York Times Bestseller List for over 5 years! I hope you and your students will enjoy it!

Talk to your Scholastic Rep for a break on the price of the books. And please note that Barnes & Noble and most independemt booksellers offer discounts for schools. I will pass along your links as listed.

Thanks again for reaching out! -----Gordon Korman-----
