Scholastic responds to concerns about How to Survive Anything series
By Scholastic on June 8th, 2012

Many readers have expressed concerns about our How to Survive Anything
titles, and we want to thank you for your passionate responses. The
two titles have had very limited distribution to date, and no further
copies will be made available.

Please check out the many other titles kids can discover this summer
on our summer reading booklists, available on our Summer Challenge
page and our Pinterest boards.

Again, we thank you for your feedback.

A funny, and sarcastic take on the apology :
