Summary Of The Story Schooled

Schooled Summary

Schooled is a story about a 13 year old boy named Capricorn (Cap) Anderson who is a hippie from garland. the middle school is where where the story is mostly set as well as his temporary home and even partially at garland farm. The main problem Cap faces is being a huge outsider and knowing nothing about public school or the outside world or even pizza and tv is a completely new concept for Cap. Cap is a nice person and is very confident everyone else is nice to, but unfortunately for him, he was wrong.
One of the first things that happens is his grandma falls out of a tree and is driven to the hospital by Cap! But his grandma has to stay in the hospital so Cap goes to public school where he is almost

immediately president (which is a bad thing) because his classmates get to see him fail all year for fun. A little later in the story he donates all of the halloween dance money and more to charity and puts the school in deep deep debt. Then Cap goes to homecoming and gets tricked into wearing a jersey of their rivals and the football team tackled him not knowing who it was. After that he leaves school in an ambulance and is never seen again so the students throw him a memorial party, but is he really dead?
I think that schooled was a great book. It had a great hook in the first few lines to really get you interested and every time you think it is at it’s climax something else crazy happens. Schooled is a pretty easy read with a few words on the harder side. The author, Gordon Korman, is a great author and really paints a clear picture in your mind in just a few lines of detail. This book is interesting from the first word to the last. So those are some of the main reasons I loved this book.
I would recommend this book to any friend or classmate because it is a low reading level book that will also keep higher level readers interested. In my opinion I think this book receives
4/5 stars because it was a great read. I think this book is very under-rated even though I think it is 4/5 not 5/5. my favorite part of the story was when Cap drove a car for the second time ilgili even though the first time he drove his granny’s pickup truck taking her to the hospital and the second he was driving a school bus with a hundred kids and a bus driver who had a heart attack and was being driven to the hospital by Cap. That is my summary of the book Schooled by Gordon Korman.
