Book Review By C. Free
The Zucchini Warriors by Gordon Korman

Students at the all-boys school McDonald Hall, Bruno and Boots are devestated to come to a new school year to find that instead of the new Rec center they put in for, there is a brand new football field. The field is paid for by Hank the Tank Carson: ex-football player, current zucchini snack tycoon. The only problem is, the school doesn't even have a football team.

Hank the Tank offers the students a deal: if they can put together a winning team, he'll give them a rec centre. The problem is, the Macdonald Warriors stink. But they soon find their new star quarterback – Cathy Burton, from Miss Scrimmage's Finishing School for Young Ladies.

Join the students from Mcdonald Hall and Miss Scrimmage's Finishing School for Young Ladies in a fun-filled time from the disposing of zucchini sticks to faking injuries.
