Books like Something Fishy at Macdonald Hall

Am I indeed ever glad that my perusal of Gordon Korman's seven MacDonald Hall boarding school stories is finally over and done with. For honestly, while reading (actually rereading) the first three novels of the series has absolutely and totally been pure fun and sweetly nostalgic (considering how much I did in fact enjoy This Can't be Happening at MacDonald Hall!, Go Jump in the Pool! and especially Beware the Fish! as a teenager in the early 1980s), especially the final three novels (which were published in the late 80s and early 90s) have proven to be pretty dismally disappointing and not at all to my tastes, with in particular the last instalment, Something Fishy at MacDonald Hall not even getting even some remote chuckles and minor notes of appreciation from me, just the sad realisation that Gordon Korman has truly run out of ideas and that making Mrs. Sturgeon (the headmaster's wife) into the "Phantom" (into the rampaging practical joker) also really does not make all that much sense (I mean, it would have made sense to have Boots' younger brother Edward turn out to be the "Phantom" or now living on the so-called edge and in love Elmer Drimsdale and perhaps even Cathy Burton or Diane Grant from Miss Scrimmage's, but the headmaster's wife, this scenario to and for me really does make it seem as though the author is truly grasping at proverbial straws, as even the reasons that Mildred Sturgeon gives to Bruno and Boots as to why she had decided to engage in her antics do not really seem all that realistically believable, even whilst I can and do appreciate that Mr. Sturgeon with his ingrown toenail and constant harping, complaining and wanting to retire was both getting on his wife's nerves and even worrying her). However, I probably would still have considered Something Fishy at MacDonald Hall as a low two star and not as the one star story that I am now pondering, had Gordon Korman refrained from using Toronto's Skydome in the narrative (it is mentioned on the poster that Bruno and Boots use to set their trap for catching the "Phantom"). Now Toronto's Skydome stadium (which is now officially called the Rogers Centre) was first opened in 1989, and when you then consider that the first four MacDonald Hall novels were ALL published from 1977-1982 and that ONLY MacDonald Hall Goes Hollywood and this here final novel, Something Fishy at MacDonald Hall, were actually published AFTER the building and official opening of the Skydome, all this would (should) therefore mean that realistically and logically speaking, Bruno, Boots et al would have had to have been students at MadDonald Hall for something like well over fifteen years (and hey, they have still not graduated either). And come on, this scenario and set-up of events really does not compute logically all that well unless the entire student boy of both MadDonald Hall and Miss Scrimmage's had in fact kept flunking out (but that would mean that Bruno, Boots, Elmer, Cathy, Diane etc. would ALL be way way past the teenagers they are being described as age and temperament, level of maturity wise).Now indeed, I do get that Gordon Korman has I guess for some reason neither made his MacDonald Hall students nor their teachers age all that much and thus they (as well as the students and staff of Miss Scrimmage's) do seem to appear as timeless and unchanging in a manner of speaking. However, if that were indeed what the author had intended, then Korman also should NOT (in my opinion) in any fashion have used a very minutely time specific (post 1989) and famous Toronto, Ontario football stadium in Something Fishy at MacDonald Hall, because since FOUR of his Macdonald Hall novels were actually published (and thus taking place) quite a number of years before the Toronto Skydome was even built, this certainly gives a strange sense of fantasy and unreality, of disconnection (and actually reminds me of an author who has not really sufficiently done his homework and that Gordon Korman seemingly has also forgotten that the majority of his Bruno and Boots stories do take place before Toronto's Skydome ever even became a reality and that just by counting years, it does not make any common sense for Bruno and Boots to actually have encountered and known about the Skydome as teenagers attending a boarding school, if they had been at MacDonald Hall and likely in junior or senior high in the late 70s and early 80s).
