Summer Reading Book Review - Schooled by Gordon Korman

The book Schooled is about a young boy who has lived separate from modern days in a community that only consists of two people, him and his grandmother. When his grandmother gets hurt and has to stay in the hospital, the young boy, Cap, is forced to live in a modern neighborhood and go to a public school. Having been homeschooled his whole life the only thing that will be a result of this is a disaster. He has no idea what to expect when he is forced to be around other people and live in the real world.


I thought this was a very good book. The author did a great job of making the characters believable. For example, since Cap was new, he thought everyone should be nice to on another so he did kind things for everyone.
