This is not Gordon, but I have a small tip that can help out a bit.

Step 1: Find your style. For me, it’s a Lemony Snicket hybrid with a sprinkle of Douglas Adams, but I can also switch to a quick, punchy James Patterson if need be. The best way to find that style is compare your writing to other Author’s works. 

Step 2: Now, read every single darn book you can get your hands on of that Author’s. Don’t be afraid to branch out either, because the more style hybrids you can lodge in there, the more unique your writing style will be.

 

I do have a couple book suggestions if you don’t mind, but Gordon can give you way better advice.

Restart (Of course!), Gordon Korman

The Hitchiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Douglas Adams

Bridge Of Clay and The Book Thief, Markus Zusak

The Fort, Gordon Korman

The Lord Of The Rings, J.R. R. Tolkien (Hard read, but I was your age when I read this one)

Harry Potter and The Prisoner Of Azkaban-scratch that, the whole series, J.K. Rowling

The Sirens Of Titan, Kurt Vonnegut

Lastly,

Any book you can get your hands on. These are my personal favorites and ones I believe advanced my writing.
