But being president wasn’t what Cap wanted. Not at all! At home, Sophie is giving him a hard time, but when Cap goes missing everyone gets worried and thinks he died. They even plan a memorial from him. Did Cap really die? And how will he survive school until Rain is better again?
Why I Started This Book:
I read Schooled because it was on a list of books for my grade level, and if I read all of the books on the list I get to go to a party. So I’m reading all of them! I made Schooled a priority when I first heard what the book was about I couldn’t wait to put my nose in it!
Likes:
- I like all the characters. The author wrote them well and gave everyone a personality and place.
- This is a good book because of Gordon Korman's writing style. He wrote each chapter as a different person's point of view. Reading a book like that was a change, but I enjoyed something different.
- Schooled has a great plot. The idea of a home schooled eighth grade hippie being forced to go to normal school for the first time is very creative!
- I like the ending of this book because it was what I wanted to happen, but it wasn’t how I thought it would be given. I won't tell you how it ends. Instead I'll make you read the book to find out.
Dislikes:
- The story was good but it didn’t capture me fully, some parts and characters weren’t as interesting as others.
Last Minute Thoughts: I would read it over again, and I will read more books by Gordon Korman.

This looks like an interesting book. TY for the review, I’m adding it to my reading list!
Cool! I enjoyed this book a lot and I hope you do too. Let me know what you think when you’re finished!
I have heard from many people that this book is funny. I plan on reading it.
GREAT! Please comment back to tell me what you think about it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
I just read this for the second time.
Getting elected as 8th grade president is not a good thing. The kids try to elect the nerdiest student and get them to make a fool of themselves.
I like Cap as a character. He seems so innocently guilty. He doesn’t know if he does something wrong because he hasn’t been taught differently.
I also like Naomi. She was of the people who tried to bully Cap but later she saw what a good person he was.
I would give this book 5 treasure chest myself!
that book is pretty good to me
Is there a second book??
No there isn’t. This is an individual title. As far as I know there aren’t any plans for a sequel.
i liked the emotional part when they had a memorial for cap!!!!! :{) (mustache hehe)
