Sandy Safford asked Jack Gantos:

I have a student who is a struggling reader who is currently reading your " Whole In My Life" book. It would be wonderful for him if you answered his question: What do you regret most in life? His name is Ricky and he is really enjoying your book. This is one of the first books he has read in all of high school for enjoyment!

Jack Gantos What do I regret most in life? (with regard to HOLE IN MY LIFE). I regret how my behavior hurt the lives of those who loved me. Hurting myself was regretful but I got over it. But hurting my family--disappointing them and making them worry so much is what I most regret. Best to Ricky. jg

My brother Josh just finished a book by you, and LOVED it. I have also read the book, and really liked it (Joey Pigza). He wanted me to ask you: how do you come up with your crazy ideas? Thanks for your time!- Sarah

BethLee asked Jack Gantos:

How did you come up with Joey Pigza's disorder? I think it is neat to read about and really realistic.

Bill asked Jack Gantos:

Other than you, who--male or female--is the best dressed author of books for children/young adults?
