This is the best Book I've ever read! In fact,, February 16, 2002
I thought at the beginning when I looked at the cover that it was stupid. Well, like they always say, you can't judge a book by it's cover =) It was read to me my a teacher in 7th grade and we did questions on it, etc. Here is my review:.Two boys, Bruno and Melvin (Boots) are mischief makers at MacDonald Hall (a boarding school for boys). Mr Sturgeon (the fish) decides to seperteate them and he puts them it rooms with the gouliest boys in the hall, Elmer Drimsdale (the genius science-freak) and George Wexford-Smyth III (the richest and snobbiest boy in the school). Bruno and Boots need to try different plans to get back in the same room again, room 306 - Dormitory 3. Can they do it? Read to find out! Other GREAT Books I've read from this series is "Beware the Fish" where MacDonald Hall is going broke and Elmer Drimsdale brodcasts fish across the country on a TV screen, and "Go Jump in the Pool!" where MacDonald Hall is ALWAYS loosing to York Academy in the swim team and need a pool - and save Boots from going to York Acedemy, like his parent's want. I really reccomend ALL of the MacDonald Hall books, and my favorite character is Elmer Drimsdale, who, takes a major role in "this can't be happening at macdonald hall", and "beware the fish". I think that he is by far, the funniest.

Gordon's first book still a fun read, September 24, 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.

so cool!, May 14, 2004

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!
