Schooled- A Book Review!

Image
  My copy of Schooled by Gordon Korman Good morning, good night, readers! In this little comma, we're going to review a humorous but inspiring book called Schooled, where a boy is suddenly thrown into middle school after years of homeschooling. I just got this book, and once I read it, it was so good that I just had to share it with you too! Let's get into it! Capricorn, otherwise known as Cap, lives at a commune at Garland Farm with his hippie grandma. At least, he used to. He's never tasted pizza, never heard of a wedgie, never had any friends, and he never, ever, expected to be thrown into Claverage Middle School, (otherwise known as C Average Middle School). He was one of the biggest nerds there, with long hair and hippie clothes. So when he turns into eighth grade president as a traditional school joke, he is more confused than anything. But soon, that joke turns into something inexplicably more... Doesn't this book seem really cool too you? I hope you read it very...

While he was being built by the NASA scientists, he developed them naturally. But he was launched into space soon enough, and was accompanied by his drone buddy, Fly. With millions of computers and humans tracking him, he roved on Mars. But challenges occurred, some of them leading to the rover going into... silence. Will Resilience have the courage and strength to survive on Mars? I want ...
