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 favorite would be the Masterminds Series, which would easily be one of my top 5 series that I have ever 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+. In general, Gordon Korman’s books are absolutely deserving of a 5 Star rating and can grab the interest of almost any tween/teenager.
