<p><b>In this bestselling fish-out-of-water classic, a homeschooled kid must learn how to fit in at his new public school when he's elected to be class president as a prank.</b><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Capricorn Anderson (Cap for short) has never watched a television show. He's never tasted pizza. He's never heard of a wedgie. And he has never, even in his wildest dreams, thought he'd live anywhere but the Garland Farm commune with his hippie grandmother and homeschool instructor, Rain.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> But all this changes when Rain is stuck in the hospital and Cap is sent to Claverage Middle School (dubbed C Average by the kids). Cap doesn't exactly fit in at school, with his long, ungroomed hair and hemp clothes; in fact, he's the biggest nerd around. But when he's elected eighth grade president as a joke, Cap is more puzzled than ever, and soon the joke grows into something more. Will Cap be the greatest president in the history of C Average or the biggest punch line?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Rife with Gordon Korman's signature humor, <i>Schooled</i> is a heartwarming story about friendship, kindness, and finding your place--which may not always be where you think it is.</p>
