Welcome to the Guestbook!
I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:
1) I answer the messages here personally.
2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.
3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

Hello! I have been searching for The Last Hunt for several months now (it was a childhood favorite, and when I learned that two more books had come out I was ecstatic!), but am having difficulty finding a copy. I was wondering if you knew why there's an influx of audio books (which I have nothing against, but personally would rather have a hard copy) or copies that are close to a hundred dollars?

Hi, TJ -
Yep, I can answer both questions. The reason you can't find the book in a reasonably priced print edition is that Scholastic never even bothered to put it out in paperback. I remain furious and heartbroken by this. The reason you can get the audio versions is that I produced those myself, and we have kept them in print and they will remain available in download form.
I would do the same thing with the books, if I could.
