The Zucchini Warriors

"A Bruno and Boots Book" is such a poor description of this series. These books ought to be shelved under "Philosophy of Life" because Gord comes through time after time with lessons and truisms, but most of all, the man gives you something to hold on to. So open up "Zucchini Warriors" (probably his best work, I've read it literally 72 times) and cling to every word he gives you...this book is hope.

This is a funny, funny book. Elmer Drimsdale as the B.M.C. still gives me fits of giggles if I let it. The Beast is sure to cause outright laughter, especially his timely return to action after his "compound fracture". All I am thinking about right now is the final play and Korman's line "The Beast hit him like Polaris missle" lol Oh man. . . *wipes tears from eyes* Oh man, I just remembered Sidney Rampulskey and his touch down slide. . . I still to this day use the line "Yeah, he could trip over a moonbeam." :) Or "I've never seen someone trip over the 50 yard line before." Anyways, if you ever read any Bruno & Boots books, this is definately my favorite, thought "The War With Mr. Wizzle" is close second, perhaps even equal. I think I am prejudiced because I played football in school. Parents, these are wonderful stores for children, if you don't know about Bruno & Boots get "This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall" it's short and to the point. :) It might even get the kids reading, it did for me. This was read to my class, I forget which grade, but I have never forgotten the story. :)

I loved this book. It's full of all sorts of surprises. It's my favorite "Bruno and Boots" book.

This Book was hilarious!Have you ever heard of a girl changing a terrible football team into Ontario Champions?Well I certenly have in this great novel.This book has about three different problems then come all together in one big Boom!

The "Zucchini Warriors" was awesome. The characters are very funny. The story was great, you will never want the book to finish. You will never want to put the book down. Bruno and Boots are the main characters. Some other favourite characters are Hank the Tank, the Beast, Cathy, Elmer, Sidney, some bush Hamsters and the Blabbermouth. You'll will like it so much, you will want to buy it!! We loved it!! Shawn Pascal, Ryan Mills, and Jeff Hay Pemberton, British Columbia, Canada
