I really like the charater cap, even though he had never been to a real school

When Cap, a teen who has been raised in solitude by his hippie grandma, is thrown into middle school because of his grandma getting injured, he doesn't know what to expect. At his new school, C average, he is voted the job for the biggest loser, class president.

This book is talking about a weird middle school kid named Capricorn Anderson, he had never watch TV and do the stuff normal middle school kid should do. This make him become the biggest nerd in the school, and being bullied in school. I choose this book is because in about middle school. And I really think no one should being bullied, I know the feel of being bullied, it's worst. Even if he act weird just ignored it, everyone should be kind to each other. This book teach us a lesson, and I think is a great book for everyone.

This book is about a boy, Capricorn Anderson, who is homeschooled and lives with his grandma. But then he had to go to school, a place where he has never been to before. Capricorn met a lot of difficulties when he is in school. There were people making fun of him, but he learned to ignore them and did what he thinks is right. Later he influenced not just a few people, but the whole school, which I found amazing and fascinating about him. He was always kind and patient with other people, and this is what I like about his personalities. This is one of my favorite books of all because I learned a lot of stuff from it.

I started reading this book because several of my friends liked it so I thought I would try it and it is really good, I'm enjoying it so far.

I love this book so much. This is the best book I ever read! :)

Based on the reviews I can't wait to finish this book.# ;D

The book Schooled is hilarious and is about this hippie boy named Capricorn Anderson who has never watched tv, never ever been to a "people" doctor only a vet, never been to middle school and has never had a phone. He has only ever known Rain, a hippie grandma who lives with him at Garland Farms. But tragically Rain falls out of a plum tree and breaks a hip. Which means only one thing, Cap has to move in with someone and go to middle school. He moves in with a lady named Mrs. Donnelly and her teen daughter Sophie. He has to attend Claverage Middle School. Known as C Average Middle School for students. From the very first day he comes, he is weird. Cap has long blonde hair, tie dye and practices taxi chi on the front lawn of school. Cap knows how to drive a school bus and is the biggest nerd in school. He is nominated class president by the school and wins! But will he be the best school president ever or a big hoax?😝

The book, Schooled, by Gordon Korman is a very original and extremely fun realistic fiction book. The book is about a boy named Capricorn whose parents left him when he was a little kid. His grandmother took over and cared for him, schooling him and raising him as her own. He became a hipster much like his ancestors and didn't really have any friends. Until one day his grandma falls out of a tree and he has to go to a real school and live with someone else. This book is about his transition to this new lifestyle. This book to me is a good book. The only part I didn't like about it is that the chapters keep changing perspectives. Every new chapter there is a new narrator which gets incredibly confusing. This book receives a 7-10. This book is realistic fiction because there are always new and "interesting" people popping up in the community just like in the book and people need to learn to respect that. This book relates to the real world very well. An audience that should read this book is anyone. This book has so many different aspects that anyone could love. Internal and external conflicts in this book showed. An internal conflict presented in the plot was the fight that Capricorn had with himself. He had to adjust to a new environment where everyone picked on him and it was hard. An external conflict is at the beginning where The popular kids were teasing Capricorn and making him run for president. This caused Capricorn to get confused and feel a little bit of hatred towards the other kids. Schooled overall is a great book for any teen looking for a fun read.
