Where in the world . . . ?

Dozens of copies of BIG MOUTH and HONK IF YOU HATE ME are being "lost" in the hopes that they'll be found, read, then “lost” again for others to discover. On buses, in schools, at airports, in fast food joints, even in Italy—the books will be cropping up all over! The maps below show how and where the books are being lost and found. If you’ve found a book, please email Deborah@DeborahHalverson.com to tell her where you found the book, your first name and age, and where you plan to “lose” your book when you're done reading it. Thanks!

The RED DOTS mark the latest "losts" and "founds". You can read the details in the blue box at the left.
