Review: I could not believe that most of Gordon Korman's books are out of print!

Is everyone so decadent that all they care about is garbage 7th grade bathroom entertainment like Simpsons?

I decided to finally purchase this book after getting it out of the library several times and was shocked that it was already out of print.

There is the usual hilarious slapstick comedy of the kids in the school for boys and the girls acress the street.

This time there is a movie going to be filmed at the school. The book is pretty predictable and fun to read....

...until Miss Scrimmage (the dippy headmistress of the girl's finishing school across the street from the boys school) goes ballistic and a trailer runs wild.

Although I have read the book several times, that part NEVER fails to get me laughing so hard that I end up in tears. Very few books can to do that to me- espeically over and over, but Gordon Korman books can.

The characters in the book are beautifully developed and by the end, you feel like you know them.

I would recommend that you read the previous books in the Bruno and Boots series from the beginning (starting with THIS CAN NOT BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL, BEWARE THE FISH, GO JUMP IN THE POOL, WAR WITH MR. WIZZLE, ZUCCHINI WARRIORS).

Then you will appreciate this book MACDONALD HALL GOES HOLLYWOOD even more.

A Gordon Korman book (especially BRUNO and BOOTS) every now and then is a perfect remedy for what ails you......IF you have a sense of humor, that is.

This kind of humor is sorely needed when you have a bad day or just when you need to sit back and have a really good laugh.
