The Premise

Imagine if you had been homeschooled your whole life and have only seen the modern world a few times.Well, that is what happened to Capricorn Anderson in the book Schooled. The author of this book is Gordon Korman and the setting takes Cleaverage Middle School, and at Mrs. Donnely's house in present time. This book is not part of a series. The main character of this book is Capricorn Anderson, but mostly everyone calls him Cap. He is 13, was elected the school president, and at the beginning of the book everyone bullies him. Then people notice how nice of a kid he is so then most people start to like him. Cap use to live at Garfield, which is an olden days place with no electricity. Another main character is Sophie. Sophie is a high schooler and hates Cap most of the time. The genre of the book is realistic fiction. The main conflict of this book is Cap trying to be a good school president and him getting bullied.

What I just read

The last few chapters I have read were about Cap being school president. Since Cap has been gaining tons of popularity one of Caps old friends is jealous. Also, the kid who used to pull all of the pranks on Cap now did not even sit at the cool kid table. So when it came to pep rally time because the football team was facing there big rivalry, Rhinefield. Then his old friend made him put on a Rhinefield jersey, and then the whole football team plowed him over like a freight train. That hit made him get sent to the hospital and next thing he knew he had a concussion. Still after a week at school with no Cap everyone is still talking to him. This book made me feel sad because Cap almost got killed by the football team and he did not even do anything wrong. Also it surprised me that his best friend turned on him and set him up to get tackled.
