In this bestselling fish-out-of-water classic, a homeschooled kid must learn how to fit in at his new public school when he's elected to be class president as a prank.
Capricorn Anderson (Cap for short) has never watched a television show. Heβs never tasted pizza. Heβs never heard of a wedgie. And he has never, even in his wildest dreams, thought heβd live anywhere but the Garland Farm commune with his hippie grandmother and homeschool instructor, Rain.
Β
But all this changes when Rain is stuck in the hospital and Cap is sent to Claverage Middle School (dubbed C Average by the kids). CapΒ doesn't exactly fit in at school, with his long, ungroomed hair andΒ hemp clothes; in fact, he's the biggest nerd around. But when heβs elected eighth grade president as a joke, Cap is more puzzled than ever, and soon the joke grows into something more. Will CapΒ be the greatest president in the history of C Average or the biggest punch line?
Β
Rife with Gordon Kormanβs signature humor, Schooled is a heartwarming story about friendship, kindness, and finding your placeβwhich may not always be where you think it is.
