Hi! My Fiancé is a huge fan of Bugs Potter. We’re heading on a road trip this summer and I’m trying to find an audio book of Who Is Bugs Potter- can’t find- does it even exist? Would love to surprise him.

Hi, Stacey,

What can I say, except that you've chosen a man of obvious taste and distinction! Congratulations!

I'm sorry to report that WHO IS BUGS POTTER? was written almost 45 years ago, when I was barely 15, and was never recorded. Sorry. Have a wonderful trip, you two!

Hi! I've been trying to find the Bruno and Boots books on audio. Looks like they don't exist. We're they ever done and if not are there plans to do so? My kids love the books as much as I did and would love to listen

Sorry to keep you waiting, Sara. I could have sworn I already answered your request.

Also sorry to disappoint you. Recorded Books have been the ones to record most of my books, but they didn't start until Bruno and Boots were in the rear view mirror. So there are no recordings that I know of.

Thanks for your support for my early series books! -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi, Gord! When did they start recording your books? Like, what book was it?

Hard question. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind did a lot of the early ones, but they were not available to the general public. The first one might have been THE TWINKIE SQUAD, which came out in January of 1992. That's when Recorded Books started doing all my stuff. ---G---
