Another school year is beginning at Macdonald Hall. But instead of coming back to the recreation centre they'd requested, Bruno and Boots find a brand new football field, paid for by Hank (the Tank) Carson – ex-football player and current zucchini-snack tycoon.
Bruno was a fun-loving boy who went to Macdonald Hall High School. His best friend was Boots(Melvin) O'Neal, who also went to Macdonald Hall. They were desperate for a dream recreation hall instead of a football field, and went to the limit to attempt to get it.
Mr.Sturgeon was the principal of Macdonald Hall who had to exercise his authority on Bruno and Boots quite frequently.
Will the boys get their recreation centre?
