Hi,Samier,

Thanks for posting. I’m pleased to hearthat you’re such a loual fan of my work. I’ll try to answer all your qustions.

My favorite character in EVEREST is Dominic, but I also really like Cap Cicero, who held the team together. I’m sure Dominic felt sad about Tilt dying, but he also had to face the fact of Tilt’s disloyalty to the team in general and Dominic in particular. So his feelings would have been mixed. Both the Dominic in Do-Over and the Everest Dominic are fictional — you know that, right? I made them up, so there’s no way they would “know” about each other.  Rudy and Mike would be about 11 or 12. And I have no idea if the sheepdog is alive when Mason goes off to college, but my guess is yes, he’s an old dog, but still around.

OK? I hope that’s helpful. Thanks again, Samier.                                       —–Gordon Korman—–
