Korman wrote his first book when he was 12 years old. "It wasn't on purpose." He says, "In my school, the track and field coach had to teach language arts, and for writing, he just told us to work on whatever we wanted for the rest of the year." Korman sent his manuscript for This Can't be Happening at Macdonald Hall to Scholastic, and it was published in 1978 when he was fourteen. Now Korman has 65 novels to his credit, including Swindle, Zoobreak, and three installments of The 39 Clues.

"A good book always keeps you asking questions, and makes you keep turning pages so you can find out the answers." Riordan kicked off The 39 Clues series with Book 1: The Maze of Bones and wrote the story arc for the series.
According to Lerangis, it is Jack London's fault. He was in fifth grade, reading London's short story "To Build a Fire," set in the Arctic. He began shivering uncontrollably, in a kind of fugue state, right in his suburban bedroom. Because of words! Whatever London had done, Lerangis wanted to do that when he grew up. And he's been trying ever since, with more than 160 books under his belt, including three The 39 Clues books to date.
