Losing Joe's Place
by Gordon Korman

"Whatever you do, DON'T lose me this lease. It's the best deal in town. Sell your friends, but hang onto that apartment."

Jason and his two best friends are about to have the ultimate summer experience in the big city. And they get to use Jason's brother's apartment for the summer. All they have to do is be sure to pay Joe's rent each month. No problem, right?

Wrong.

They didn't count on dealing with the sleazy landlord, or Joe's strange friend, Rootbeer. And they certainly weren't expecting Joe's Camaro to go missing. Keeping Joe's place turns out to be way harder than they'd expected.

"Losing Joe's Place is fast paced with great characters and full of unbelievable events that we would all like to believe possible!"
Canadian Materials

". . . readers will . . . speed through, slowed down only by uncontrollable laughing fits."
School Library Journal

An ALA Best Book for Young Adults.
