Gordon Korman

From Free net encyclopedia

Gordon Korman is a Canadian author of novels, primarily for children.

In the seventh grade, his language arts teacher was a track and field coach. At a loss on what to do, the teacher simply allowed them to work on whatever they wanted for the rest of the year. For Gordon, this resulted in This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall, the first book in what is arguably his most famous series. It was published a year and a half later by the Scholastic Press, when Gordon was a mere 14 years of age.

He currently resides in New York City, with his wife and three children.
