Capricorn (Cap for short) Anderson has been living on a farm commune with his hippie grandmother, Rain. Cap has never watched t.v and has never eaten pizza. He has been living on the farm commune all his life and he is home-schooled by Rain. When Rain falls out of a tree while picking plums Cap is forced to go to public school and live with another family while Rain is in the hospital. In Claverage Middle School, its a tradition to make the biggest nerd run for class president. No one runs against that person and the biggest nerd wins. Well right when Cap Anderson walks into the school everyone knows that his weirdness will make him win the title of president. Will he fall under the pressure or be the greatest president Claverage Middle School has ever seen?
I loved the book Schooled by Gordon Korman! I like it so much I have read it about four times. All the characters seemed so real in this book. You could just imagine this as a movie playing in your mind, because everything was so well described. The whole book wasn't just about how Cap had to get through middle school, it was also about how Cap changed other peoples lives with his hippie style. I liked how peaceful he was and how he thought he could do anything when he put his mind to it. I thought it was funny how the kids made him think there were certain things that the class president had to do, like they told Cap he had to learn everyone's name in the whole entire school. Overall this was a great book and I think you should read it!
