Thanks to the public library, I was finally able to find out what people were talking about when they squeed about Bruno & Boots. Of course, soon after the fickle library gods betrayed me: only the first book is available, which is a TRAGEDY, because this series is clearly great, funny and delightful and truly squee-worthy.

Bruno and Boots are mischievous but well meaning. They cause their headmaster endless upset, and after a particularly prodigious series of pranks, he separates them. They hate their new roommates and even worse, hate not rooming with each other, so they concoct plan after plan to get back to the way things were.

Short and funny, perfect for preteen readers who'd like more Weasley Wizard Wheezes and the like.
