Works written by Gordon Korman include:
Gordon Korman provides examples of the following tropes:
- Accidental Athlete
- The Alcatraz
- An Aesop + Truth in Television: In Losing Joe's Place, the narrator happens to help a hot girl with her college homework. Specifically, about food costs. Then he does the math after she leaves, and finds that it's actually cheaper and healthier to cook one's food than to eat out all the time.
- Capulet Counterpart
- Crazy Awesome
- Crazy Enough to Work
- Cursed with Awesome
- Dork Horse Candidate
- Go-To Alias
- High School
- Invented Individual - In The War with Mr. Wizzle, the protagonists create a fictitious student named Gavin Gunhold to mess with the school's new administration. The name becomes a running gag in many of Korman's later books. Gavin Gunhold (sometimes G. Gavin Gunhold) is mentioned, usually in passing, always as an incidental character who never actually appears (unless you count imposters posing as him).
- Only Sane Man
- Same Story, Different Names
- Summer Campy
- This Is My Side
