2. Main Idea
The main idea of the story is that
Macdonald Hall is going bankrupt, so the
boys go through crazy and hilarious ways
to save Macdonald Hall. One of the ways
involves interfering with the TV and
getting into huge trouble. This is the main
idea because that is what the whole book
is about.
3. Summary
When Bruno and Boots get moved to Elmer’s
room because the school doesn’t have
enough money they think of ways to get new
kids to register at Macdonald Hall, so the
school can get money to not go BANKRUPT!
From finding cures or getting into the
newspapers to making world records they
and the other boys do some hilarious and
crazy things to not let Macdonald Hall get
bankrupt. One of their funny joke turns into a
nightmare when it starts interfering with the
TV, and getting them into trouble by the
Ontario
4. Reading Strategies
I used the reading strategy visualizing to
visualize the pictures because it is easier to
understand the book if you can see what is
going on in your head. I visualized the part
when Ms. Scrimmage catches the boys.
Another strategy I used was predicting to
guess if they will get into trouble for that or
not. I predicted the part when they were
making a lot of noise, so the contractor
would go away.
6. Bruno And Boots
• Leaders of all the plans
• Always are getting into trouble
• Always going to Ms. Scrimmages school.
7. Mr.Sterguon
(known as the Fish)
• Known as the fish because he gives
people the fishy stare.
• He is the headmaster of the Macdonald
Hall
8. A Quote
One of the quotes that Bruno said were “I
never get caught". I thought this quote was
funny because at the same time he said it,
he got caught!
9. Opinion
• I rate this book 10/10 because there are
no weaknesses for this book. If I had to
list one, I would say that there is too much
stuff going on and it’s very confusing.
10. Strengths
• It’s very funny
• It’s easy to understand
• It’s nice and short, but it has a lot of
content
12. Recommendation
• I would recommend this book to kids aged
10 and up because they wouldn’t
understand what is going on and would
think “ Why is he doing these things.”
