Michaelor if my most favourite books growing up was Losing Joe’s place. My dad introduced me to it as he read it with his class as a novel study. I am now teaching an ESL class and want to share my love for it but it is out of print and I am having difficulty securing paper back copies.
20 years ago I had 30 copies in a box under the stairs but they are long gone.
Any help to secure 15 copies?

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased that you have such good memories of LOSING JOE'S PLACE, and sorry you're having so much trouble finding copies. I'm afraid I have no supply of the book. Your best bet would be to contact Scholastic, the publisher:
Scholastic NYC 1-800-621-1115 and/or Scholastic Canada 1-800-268-3860
or your local bookseller to see if they can scrounge up a few copies.
I also see no sign that it might be reprinted any time soon, so I'm afraid this is the best I can do. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Good hunting, and thanks again for your support for one of my older books.
Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
