I read these books (Gordon Korman in general, Bruno and Boots in particular) when I was 10, and I laughed non-stop, and read them over and over. I thought they were brilliant. I'm 28 now, with a Ph.D. and a real, adult life, and I still read them over and over, still laugh non-stop, and still think they're brilliant.

This book is one in a great series of books starring Bruno and Boots. They are best friends who attend Macdonald Hall, a boarding school in Canada. They discover that their school is going bankrupt, and as usual, Bruno heads a committee to help him save the school. They try all sorts of things, like setting world records and coming up with new inventions, and the ending is great. I think this is the best book in the series.

I have read this book at least 50 times and I still laugh when I read it. Go Gordon Korman!

Beware the Fish is one of our favourite books. The story is very clever. One of our favourite parts of the book was when Elmer was singing about science and math. Another good part was when Elmer's cold cure was put in Coach Flynn's drink. It made him so drunk that he ran aroud in his underwear and asked Miss Scrimmage to dance. The book was great because it was funny and it will make you laugh. A fabulous story!! Ryan "Rhino" Mills, Shawn "Slam Dunk" Pascal, Jeff "Gretzky" Hay, Pemberton British Columbia, Canada.

The author of my book Beware The Fish! is Gordon Korman. Gordon Korman wrote his first book This Can't Be Happening At MacDonald Hall! as a Grade 7 english project. In my book Beware The Fish the main characters are Bruno Walton and Boots O'Neal. They are kind hearted teenagers but like to play tricks. Boots has blond hair and blue and Bruno has brown hair and brown eyes. They live at MacDonald Hall, a boarding school for Boys in Ontario, Canada. They are roommates in Room 306, Dormatory 3. The problem is MacDonald Hall is closing! Bruno, Boots, and the rest of the students want to save the school. They decide to get publicity by getting the school on TV. They decide to set a world record to get publicity. They try to build the world's largest popcan tower. The way they get the school is very funny! I liked the book because I have read 3 other Bruno and Boots books and this is the second best book. I liked the author because Gordon Korman makes me laugh in different ways. A strengh is that Gordon Korman taught me that teamwork achives your goals, hopes, and maybe your dreams. A weakness is that people sometimes think that humor books have nonthing to teach you about the meaning of life. Now I have 2 questions for Gordon Korman. Why did you pick the names Bruno and Boots for your main characters? Why did you make a series of them? I loved this book and I would read it 10 more times.

Bruno and Boots, best friends, learn that their school is going to be closed down due to financial problems. They try to break world records to earn fame and more students coming to their school. From apple-peeling records to can pyramid records, this book contains adventures that you've got to read.

The story is about Bruno and Boots, two well known student of Macdonald Hall who are honest, good hearted but always getting into mischief. When they find out that there shcool is bankruped and that it might be sold to a relastate company they do anything to stop it. They get togerther "the commity" and with help from Miss Scrimmage's Finishing School for young ladies come up with halirious scheems to save the school. Meanwhile a local telivision station is getting complaints about a talking picture of a fish (a salmon to be exact) that seems to be inturupting some TV programs. Will the police catch the misterious fish, Will Bruno and Boots save MacDonal Hall read the book and find out.

Details the escapades of two teenage boys and their friends during the school year. Part of a series. If you have a non-reader at home, buy them this book! They'll get a kick out of it!

A really funny book gaurenteed to make you laugh out loud, good for ages 9-13 if you like humor you'll love this
