![]() ![]() The pole broke in the middle and fell on the roof of my house, and the N.P.Bear fell through the hole it made into the dining room with my hood over his nose, and all the snow fell off the roof into the house and melted and put out all the fires and ran down into the cellars where I was collecting this year’s presents, and the N.P.Bear’s leg got broken. I told him not to, but the N.P.Bear climbed up to the thin top to get it down - and he did. It all happened like this: one very windy day last November my hood blew off and went and stuck on the top of the North Pole. In fact, awful things have been happening, and some of the presents have got spoilt and I haven’t got the North Polar Bear to help me and I have had to move house just before Christmas, so you can imagine what a state everything is in, and you will see why I have a new address, and why I can only write one letter between you both. I am dreadfully busy this year - it makes my hand more shaky than ever when I think of it - and not very rich. ![]() ![]() Here is a sample of the delightful letters from 1925, thanks to Letters of Note: ![]() ![]() He shares much of the same attitude toward camp and sports in particular as Rudy does and laughs at all of Rudy's witty remarks. Mike Webster is Rudy's best friend at camp. Very literal and logical, he, with his new friend Mike Webster, attempt to escape the island in an effort to return home, an action they both fail throughout the book (there is reference at the end to them eventually escaping a number of times, only to come back and try try again.) Rudy has a little brother who is remarkably like him. Exceptional at virtually everything, he hates everything about camp and anything that has to do with sports. Rudy Miller, the novel's protagonist, is a loner who is sent to camp against his wishes by his school's guidance department. It was republished, as with most of Korman's older books, in 2004 with a new cover and updated text. ![]() I Want to Go Home is a children's novel by Gordon Korman, first published in 1981. ![]() ![]() ![]() The floating orb has a golden glow, and the damaged Master Sword has a faint blue glow.

With no announcement of a sequel so far, the abrupt ending was very anti-climactic.
