This is one of the best in the extremely funny and well-done Bruno and Boots series by Gordon Korman.

Bruno and Boots find themselves trying to raise money so that MacDonald Hall can have a swimming pool, and their efforts are fueld by a sense of competition with a neighboring institution. They try everything from playing the stock market to erecting a toll booth, and the wacky cast of supporting characters (including my favorite, science nerd Eelmer Drimsdale) offers up plenty of yuks.

Some of the best material comes in the midst of a talent show that Bruno and Boots put on, with predictably entertaining (and somewhat disastrous) results.

Written very early in Korman's career (which began well before he graduated high school), this book is one of the ones upon which his reputation for humor and well-paced novels was based. As a new, fresh writer, Korman showed that he had something to say, and young readers everywhere were all ears.

It is true that his characters can be cartoonish, and the actions often stray from the realm of believability, but you just have to accept that as part of the fun.

This is a great book to cut your Korman-teeth on. You're guaranteed to find it entertaining.

The author of my book Go Jump in the Pool,is Gordon Korman.Gordon Korman's book's are just about humour,and he started writing his first book in grade 7. In my book,Go Jump in the Pool,the main characters are Boots and Bruno. Boots is a teenager he has short blond hair and Bruno is a teenager with short brown hair.Bruno's and Boots personalitys are mischief makers,funny,they like to laugh,they are loyol firends,and they are kind.Boots and Bruno are two boys who live at MacDonald Hall.MacDonald Hall is a bording school for boys.Across the the road theres a bording school for girls. Once every few monthes MacDonald Hall students will race York Academy to see which school's the fastest at swimming.York Academy has there own pool and MacDonald Hall doesn't have a pool. York Academy always wins but it's not really fair because York Academy their own pool.York Academy is a boys bording school too.So Boots and Bruno are trying to raisea lot of money to buy a pool for MacDonald Hall. They get in a lot of mischief while trying to raise all the money.You will have to read Go Jump in the Pool if you want to find out if they raise it all or not. I liked this book because its fun to read its fun to read because Boots and Bruno are trying to raise money for the school they get in troble.And when they get in troble they always get in troble by doing something funny.I realy like Gordan Korman books.

This book is one of the best I have ever read. It creates the feeling that you actually are THERE, with the characters, experiencing everything they do. At the end of the book... well, I won't spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't read it, but it makes you feel as though you helped, and get to join in the celebration rightfully.

Read this book. While you're at it, read the rest of the series. You won't be let down.

The title of my book is Bruno and Boots, Go Jump In The Pool and the author is Gordon Korman. This book is about 2 boys named Bruno and Boots who go to Macdonald Hall.(A boarding school.) They want to have a swimming pool like their like their enemies who go York Academy. Bruno, Boots and all their friends and classmates have to raise 25,000$ in order to have a pool.At the beginning Mr.Sturgeon (The head of the school,) likes the idea of have having a pool like the York Academy.The only reason the students at Macdonald Hall wants a swimming pool is because they do not like swimming with York Academy and if they don't get one Boots will have to go to York Academy. I think Bruno And Boots Go Jump In The Pool is a good, funny book.I think Gordon Korman is a good author.This is my first Gordon Korman book that I have ever read and I realy enjoyed it. I uasually read books by Ann.M. Martin.I think that Gordon Korman is good at thinking up great ideas for books.If I were Gordon Korman I would make 3 things different.1.Boots go to York Academy and Bruno goes to Macdonald Hall but they are still best friends,2.Bruno and Boots both have pets, and3.Call Boots by his real name.I would call Boots his real name Melvin because I think the name Boots sounds like a cat's name. I would recomand this book to anyone who likes to read.I think kids in grade four, five, or six would realy like this book.I liked this book. BY CLAIRE LEDERMAN

They are two mischevios teenage boys who like to have fun. Boots has short blonde hair and Bruno has short brown hair. They are funny and they are loyal friends. Bruno and Boots are kind hearted. In the book Go Jump in the Pool! Bruno and Boots are trying to earn money in several different ways so McDonald Hall, the boarding school where they are staying can build a pool. They want a pool so that Boots and some of the other boys won't have to go to York Academy, another boys boarding school and become a York turkey. Will they get their pool?

Great book! I've read it 6 times and each time I couldn't put the book down. I especialy liked how Bruno kept getting in to trouble and how he always got out of it.

I very much enjoyed the book "Go Jump In The Pool" by Gordon Korman. I especially like the way Mr. Korman always add loose ends throughout the story, little things that you wouldn't think about, and then ties them up at the end with a bang. When I read any novel by Mr. Korman, I just can't put it down, and this book is no exception. Bravo

There is no one in the world who does not love Gordon Korman's novels. Even my dad, who is almost 50 years old, laughs hysterically when he reads them. I don't just laugh while I'm reading them, I laugh whenever I even THINK about them! This is my very favourite book by Gordon Korman. I loved the whole Bruno and Boots series, but I thought this one was the best. Gordon Korman has this great way of working up to a climax, and finishing the book in a totally bizarre and hilarious way. My favourite character is The Fish - there are so many great descriptions of him! Great book - you have to read it, whether you're a fourth grader or a college graduate. No one is too old for Bruno and Boots!

The auther of my book Go Jump in the Pool is Gordon Korman. Gordon Korman mixed his books with real life and ficton. In the book Go Jump in the Pool the characters are Bruno and Boots.They both go to Macdonaid Hall a school for boys.They are almost in their teenage years .They want to raise money for a pool for the school so they won't have to go to York Academy.Bruno has short bionde hair and brown eyes he likes to play jokes on people.Bruno also likes to sneek around alot even at Miss.Scrimmage's School for young ladys.Boots has brown hair and blue eyes he also to laugh along with Bruno but not as a trick player as Bruno but Boots even sneeks around at Miss.Scrimmage's school.The setting is at Macdonald Hall a school for boys.The Headmastre Mr.Sturgeon or the Fish owns Macdonald Hall school and he talked to Boots's father and he and a bunch of other fathers might send their sons to the York Academy turkeys. The summary of the story "Go Jump in the Pool!" is Bruno and Boots is that they want a pool but the Fish said they can't. My answer of the story is the boys got into trouble 10 times already and they went into all the rooms and took all the stuff the other boys didn't want. Bruno and Boots had a sale. The problem is the boys want a pool but they're not allowed. My answer of the story is it was funny. I recommend this book because once you read Gordon Korman you can't stop. It is just so funny.
