I know this is a day late, but I'm just. HOW! I got an email about it last night and I barely believed it, really. Congrats, Gord! It's been literally only a week since The Fort came out! That's so insane! But I get it. BTW, I really like Evan.

Be blessed,

Jade

Thanks. In 100 books, this is the first one that went straight onto the bestseller list. I think there was a large advance order. Whatever it was, I'm thrilled! ---GK---

Gord, do you know when the fort will be available on Libby? Tat is probably going to be the only way I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'m going to be able to read it since my library always gets new books super late and the shelves are half empty anyways

Hi, Ruchama,

Would you believe I had to look up Libby?

I don't know when, or even if, THE FORT will be available on Libby, but I don't think it will be soon. It probably might not go to paperback that early either, since it made its debut on the Bestseller List. (smile.) So you might be looking at a lot of library bagging in your future. Sorry. ----GK-----

How has it been almost a whole year since this.

I remember getting THE FORT, like, YESTERDAY!

I miss this Forum. I feel like I'm too busy for anything I love (because I love the Reader's Forum)
so I'm making a COMEBACK.

Goodbye, high school. Hello, Reader's Forum.

(but im not quitting high school)

THE FORT is in my school’s book fair! But we’re using Bedford Falls as our sponsor so it’s really a bestseller!

All of the books in that section at the book fair are inclusive, like talk about real life problems inclusive. I think THE FORT earned its place there
