Schooled is a 208 page fiction novel by the author of Gordon Korman. It's about a selfless 13 year old hippy boy named Capricorn Anderson, or Cap for short, who has never experienced the "outside world". Meaning, he has never experienced a regular kid would. For Example, a kid's first bike ride, first birthday party, school, etc. Everything went well in the farm of Garland 'till the day Cap's grandma (Rain) fell off of a normal day of plum farming. The result was a trip to the hospital for Rain. Meanwhile Cap lives with a social worker and goes to Claverage Middle School. Along the way he'll discover middle school problems with bullies and other regular situations. I'd give this book a score of 8/10. I chose that score because that it's a great book, but at times over exaggerated. I would take out the exaggeration and add a more conclusive ending.
