Hello!!

I know you don’t have much say in this or mostly aware when it is going to happen but do you know when Don’t Care High, the latest cover art (the one with the sneakers) will be available? I check on Amazon and it’s the cover art, and when I check other websites it’s all Ebooks! I’m not expecting for an exact answer but I would appreciate it if you do know something of the sort.

If it’s a long time then I think I’ll be able to wait, I’m currently almost done with The Unteachables and reading War stories. I also plan on getting No More Dead Dogs and The Hypnotists soon, if my mom allows me to (I think getting 13 of your books has made her tired from buying, haha, this is a joke she likes me reading things don’t mind this)

Thank you very much!

Hi, Twiz,

I thought I answered this. I probably did it in a rush and cleverly erased it before sending it. Sorry.

The sneaker cover is for a Canadian eBook only, and not a book cover at all. So unless you're in the market for an eBook, that's the way it goes. Again, sorry. But it's the same book, no matter what the cover might be. Promise. --GK--

@Twiz, just to add one small clarification—and hopefully not step on the author’s presumably Converse-attired toes!—that “sneakers” cover of DON’T CARE HIGH did briefly make it into print. Scholastic Canada released it as a paperback in 2012, although that edition has been out of print for several years. Used copies do turn up from time to time, but as GRK said, the cover is currently available as an e-book.
