Gordon Korman Visits the Yarn!
Travis: It was a pleasure talking with Gordon Korman about his life and career. In the episode, I mention a photo of him that I found in a file drawer when I began my current library job, so I added it above.
Gordon’s 100th book The Fort, arrives this summer.
We hope you enjoy the episode:
