![]() But as Cap begins to take on his duties, the joke starts to turn on Zach. So when Cap becomes president, he is more puzzled than ever. ![]() He can't wait to instate the age-old tradition in C-Average School: The biggest nerd is nominated for class president - and wins. This is great news for Zach Powers, big man on campus. His weirdness basically makes him the biggest nerd in school. He has long, ungroomed hair, wears hemp clothes, and practices Tai Chi out on the lawn. Cap doesn't exactly fit in at Claverage Middle School (dubbed C Average by the kids). While Cap knew a lot about Zen Buddhism, no amount of formal education could ready him for the trials and tribulations of public middle school. ![]() But when Rain falls out of a tree while picking plums and is hospital-ridden, he has to attend the local middle school and live with his new guidance counselor and her irritable daughter. He was homeschooled by Rain, the only person he knew in the world. Capricorn (Cap for short) lived every day of his life on Garland Farm growing fruits and vegetables. And he had never, in his wildest dreams, thought of living anywhere but Garland Farm commune with his hippie caretaker, Rain. This falls into the first category, and these are my favorite books that Korman writes. Gordon Korman’s books fall into two main categories: Humor/human greatness and adventure. Capricorn Anderson had never watched a television show before. Homeschooled by his hippie grandmother, Capricorn (Cap) Anderson has never watched television. Schooled is one of my favorite books because of its honesty and its total shattering of normal social norms and attitudes, all through the simple love of a modern hippie. ![]() Gordon Korman's best-known bestseller! A quirky homeschooled kid must learn how to fit in (or stand out) at public school in this heartwarming fish-out-of-water classic. ![]()
