Hi, Ember,

Puzzling question. I was 12 when I started to write, and I knew nothing of classical literature. But I know it now, and I honestly believe that whatever you learn can only add to your craft. Don’t shut out anything — that’s my advice. You’d be robbing yourself of something important to your worldview.

Good luck! I hope to be writing you a fan letter one day!                  —–Gordon Korman—–
