Gordon Korman is a Canadian author of novels, primarily for children and young adults. In the seventh grade, his language arts teacher was a track and field coach. At a loss on what to do, the teacher simply allowed them to work on whatever they wanted for the rest of the year. For Gordon, this resulted in This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall, the first book in his "Bruno and Boots" series, arguably his most famous. It was published a year and a half later by the Scholastic Press, when Gordon was 14 years old. He currently resides in New York City, with his wife and three children.

really connected with my middle-school students. With relatively short chapters and witty wordwork, it also makes a great read aloud for grades five and up.
