Hi, Ms. Kozma,

I hope you’ve forgiven me by now, and are back under control. If it’s any comfort, I’ve heard that a lot from teachers vis a vis Chapter 31. Teachers put a lot into their classes, so emotions usually run high. That’s a good thing!

Your question: I plan thoroughly before I ever start to write, so from word one, I was heading towards the renewal of the Coco Nerd as the Science project, and Mr. Kermit’s new lease on life and career. I’m usually strict about my planning. I can add and subtract people and events, but my basic story has to be there from the start.

Thanks, Ms. Kozma and Virtual 8th Graders. Happy summer!                           —–Gordon Korman—–
