PRAISE FOR BORN TO ROCK

"Laugh-out-loud funny, honest, hot and sweet."--Kirkus Reviews
PRAISE FOR JAKE, REINVENTED

"Korman's reworking of The Great Gatsby places the action in a modern framework, which makes it more recognizable for today's readers and may lead them to the classic. Teens will find deeper issues to consider about popularity, being true to one's self, and taking responsibility for one's actions as they relate to the setting and characters."
