Gordon Korman (person)

One heck of an author. He wrote his first book, This Can't Be Happening at McDonald Hall, when he was 13. He's from Canada but now lives in New York--at least part time--and is writing books that generally aren't as good as many of his older ones.
He digs Football and (I believe) Hockey.
