Dear Gordan,

Do you have any plans to reprint your brilliant classic book, Who is Bugs Potter? I managed to find an old copy and read it out loud to my kids recently. We were all laughing so hard throughout the whole book. I tried to find newer copies so I can gift them to friends with kids, but I cannot find it anywhere. Perhaps I am not looking in the right places, but it doesn't seem to have been reprinted since the 90s. I would love to know where I could find it or perhaps start a petition to get it reprinted :).

Many thanks,

Mary

Hi, Mary,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to note that WHO IS BUGS POTTER still has fans, after so many years! I was 15 when I wrote it, and I'm now considerably older than that!

The book was first published by Scholastic Canada, custserve@scholastic,ca they would be the ones who would know of any plans to reissue the book. I really hope they plan to put old Bugs out there again, just for old times sake.

Kindest regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

I too would love a reprint. Potter is my third favorite Korman, after Twinkie Squad and I Want To Go Home.
