Mrs. Ash

I have a student wondering how to pronounce Jaeger. Is it Yay-ger? Or Jagger? Thanks!

Hi, Mrs. Ash,

Right the first time. It's Yay-ger.

Hope your student is enjoying the book. -----Gordon Korman-----

I think you should put one of the fork's on the cover because near the end, it stabbs Jason in the butt and it causes him to tell Janelle about the fort, and in the end, she "saved the day".

Hi, Lincoln,

I think the discussion in your class must have been very bright! You're right about the fork, but I think I'm satisfied with the title and cover as they stand. Thanks anyway. Good point! -----Gordon Korman-----

If you are going to change your cover I think you should add the fork because that is how Janelle got involved with the fort and without her the cops would never have been there so quickly. Plus the fork is why Jaeger and Luke are wondering where all the money is coming from. So that is why I think you should add the fork to the cover.

Hi, Casey,

Thanks for posting. Yes, I agree.The fork was important. But then, so was the cactus, right? And we can't put everything on the cover. So it just has to remain the simple title. But thanks for the effort! I appreciate it! --Gordon Korman--

Hi, Oren,

Now, that's interesting. I think you're referring to the group dinner at the end where everyone is eating pasta, and the sauce was made from the "watering my plants" garden. Like I said to some of the others, it's a great idea, but you can't reveal the whole story in one picture. So I think the cover will remain the way it is. But thanks for the thought. ---Gordon Korman---

Hi, Gabriel,

Another indication that this class notices details! I guess the cover would be pretty crowded if I put it all on there. Also, I should mention that I have nothing to do with the covers of my books. They're designed by the publishing company's art department.

I hope you'll read more of my books, Gabriel. ---Gordon Korman---
