Gordon Korman is an incredible author of over 100 realistic fiction books featuring diverse middle school and high school characters. The main protagonists of his books often don’t fit in with the ‘social norms’ of their school, shown by books such as Schooled, Ungifted and No More Dead Dogs. There are several series written by Gordan Korman, like Masterminds or Kidnapped, in addition to his independent books like Restart and Unplugged. This review focuses on the independent books written by Gordon Korman.
What I absolutely loved about the books made by Gordan Korman is that they are so absolutely engaging. There is just so much detail put into those books, and the amount of effort is incredible. Some of my personal favorites include Schooled, Linked, and Ungifted. Out of the series created by Gordan Korman, my favorites would be the Masterminds Series and the Everest Series. The Masterminds Series could easily go into my top 5 series that I have read.
In the end, the books written by this author are just incredibly amazing to read, and are incredible recommendations to middle school and high school students. Because these books by Gordon Korman have violent topics such as death and antisemitism, I would give this series an age rating of 10+. Of course, this is a 5 Star rating, and I am sure that these books can grab the interest of almost every tween/teenager.
