schooled by Gordan Korman


This book tells you what it would be like if you had no contact with the world. Capricorn is living the life of a hippie in the 2000's. Suddenly his grandmother, Rain, falls out of a tree and injures herself. She has to go to rehab for 6 weeks. For those 6 weeks Capricorn must live with a family and go to a regular school. For the first time ever he learns about money, violence, and friends. He gets elected school president which is an honor saved for the biggest dork in the eighth grade class. Will he make it through those 6 weeks or will he go crazy?
