His works include Hole in My Life, a Michael L. Printz Honor memoir, Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, a National Book Award Finalist, and Dead End in Norvelt, a Newbery Award winner. The seeds for Jacks writing career were planted in sixth grade, when he read his sisters diary and decided he could write better than she could. He began to collect anecdotes he overheard, mostly from eavesdropping outside the teachers lounge, and later included many of these anecdotes in his books. He now devotes his time to writing books and educational speaking. He lives with his family in Boston, Massachusetts. Newbery Honor BookNewbery Medal WinnerNational Book Awards Finalist
