I was a huge Korman fan as well. Go get a copy of Joe's Place from the local library. Fantastic book.

I think I read that also, among other Korman titles. Some of them are:

No Coins, Please
Toilet Paper Tigers
Who is Bugs Potter?
Don't Care High
A Semester in the Life of a Garbage Can

Loved all those, but can't for the life of me remember what any of them were about. I had to pull the names up from his site http://gordonkorman.com/

A Wrinkle In Time is a classic...

my vote, however, will have to go to The Giver

 

[Farvacola]

The fountainhead is my personal fav. Ayn Rand is one of the best authors ever.
