Schooled by Gordon Korman

Cap Anderson has never been to school. He’s never eaten pizza and he’s never watched TV or seen a cell phone. Cap and his hippie grandmother live in a 1960s-style commune where he is home schooled. But everything is about to change. Suddenly Cap is sent to public school, where the kids are really mean to anyone they think is a nerd or a dweeb or a social reject. The first thing the kids do to Cap is to elect him 8th grade president. Of course, Cap doesn’t know what a class president does and he doesn’t know that they’ve done it as a joke. But Cap is a special person and in spite of everyone’s spitballs and practical jokes he becomes the best class president the school has ever seen. Read Schooled by Gordon Korman to find out how Cap lives in the “real world.” This is a funny book by the same author who wrote No More Dead Dogs and the Island trilogy.
