Hey! I have never seen anyone on the forum talk about Losing Joe's Place, so I thought I would! It is one of my favourite books by you, it is so funny!! I also really love the cover for the 2004 version I'm pretty sure?

Just wanted to let you know that I think it is one of your most underrated books.

Can't wait to see you at Red Maple in May!

Hi, Jack,

Thanks for posting. It's great to hear from someone who's even heard of LOSING JOE'S PLACE! It's from way back when! I almost don't recognize it myself. It was published in 1990, whch puts the writing of it back in ! 1989 when I was but a pup! I'm really pleased to hear that it made a hit with you.

See you at Red Maple! -----Gordon Korman-----
