We recently had Gordon Korman at our middle school (6th, 7th and 8th) and he
was fantastic!! It is hard sometimes to retain interest through all grade
levels with a presentation, but Gordon tweeked his a little for each grade
and the result was rapt attention by all! I was really impressed at how he
conversed with students at lunch and even stayed longer to visit a class
that had created plays based on "No More Dead Dogs". One of the best
presenters we have had!!!
