Losing Joe's Place

Losing Joe's Place by Korman, Gordon. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781443113045.

Jasons going to have the summer of his life ― as long as he doesnt lose Joes place. Sixteen-year-old Jason is looking forward to spending the summer in the big city with his friends Don and Ferguson. Theyve convinced their parents to let them sublet Jasons older brother Joes apartment in Toronto. All they have to do is pay the rent each month and not, under ANY circumstance, put Joe in jeopardy of losing his lease. Easier said than done. What they didnt count on was dealing with Joes eccentric landlord, Mr. Plotnick, or his strange friend, Rootbeer. And they certainly werent expecting Joes Camaro to be mistaken for a stolen car and get towed away. One crisis after another conspires to ruin their summer, but with Gordon Kormans trademark wit the journey is guaranteed to be both inventive and hilarious.
