GORDON KORMAN wrote his first book,
This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall!
, when he was twelve years old. He has now written more than 50 books for middle-grade and teen readers.
Don't Care High
was his first YA novel. It is based partly on his own experience in high school, where, he says, “the only way to get through alive was by laughing.”

Gordon's books include the
New York Times
#1 bestseller

and
Pop
