Book Description

1978
The hair-raising two have been separated! Headmaster Sturgeon (The Fish) has assigned Boots and Bruno to new room-mates -- for the good of the entire school. Will Boots and Bruno rise to this new challenge? Yes, they will! And their resourcefulness and ingenuity in outwitting the rules will have you howling, as lunacy takes over at Macdonald Hall. Fast, funny action, written by a 13-year-old boy who knows from experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gordon's first book still a fun read, September 23, 1997
By A Customer
This Can't Be Happening at MacDonald Hall was Gordon Korman's first book, written as a school assignment about fifteen years ago, but it is still in print, still selling copies, and still a very funny story. The story focuses on the friendship of Bruno Walton and Melvin (Boots) O'neal, two students of the prestigious MacDonald Hall, a Canadian boarding school. These two are great friends, but their habit of playing practical jokes keep getting them in trouble with Headmaster Sturgeon (a.k.a. The Fish), who has finally decided to separate the troublemakers. They are moved to different dormitories and forbidden to have anything to do with one another, but Bruno asnd Boots aren't about to take this laying down. Between sneaking out at night, framing their new roommates for sneak raids on the Girl's Finishing School across the highway, and stirring up trouble in class, these two are determined to get back together, but it seems more likely they'll become national heroes than be allowed to room together. A wonderful children's story at an inexpensive price, this is still a fine book for adults who can still enjoy children's fiction, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars so cool!, May 13, 2004
By A Customer
I love these Gordon Korman books. You are always guarenteed to laugh out loud. I think they are fantastic for kids, or just anyone who enjoys light hearted, well written entertainment - I am 25 and still reread my Gordon Korman books!! I think that these books would be especially great to read to kids who don't like to read, and to get those said kids started - I mean this is enjoyment, pure and simple!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Bruno and Boots!!, November 14, 2003
By 
"athenasjavelin" (Riverside, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This is a MUST BUY book!! I still have my original copy from when I was eleven years old, what does it tell you that I have kept it through several moves and 20 years? I am now buying a 2nd copy of all the Bruno and Boots books just so I won't "love them to death".
Gordon Korman has written a series that really speaks to the adventurous child in all of us - Bruno is a great leader, inventive, fun and brave in the face of danger (from Headmaster Sturgeon, AKA The Fish). Boots is the kind of guy you always want on your team - loyal and always willing to climb out a window to share cafeteria leftovers at midnight.
The Bruno and Boots books share the stories of two boys at a Canadian boy's school, where they survive bad roomates and imminent danger from Miss Scrimmage, the headmistress at the nearby girls' school.The boys are always getting into trouble with The Fish and coming up with extravagent excuses for why the school is flying a flag from Maldovia, why Elmer's ants are suddenly swarming the school,and why panty raids at Miss Scrimmage's Finishing School for Young Ladies couldn't possibly have anything to do with them.
Anyone over the age of eight will love this book and this series.
