Schooled: Gordon Korman


Schooled
This book is about a guy named Capricorn (Cap) Anderson who is a hippie, growing up on an isolated farm, homeschooled by his hippie grandmother Rain.
But when Rain falls out of a tree, picking plums, she breaks her hip and Cap has to live with a guidance counselor and her cranky daughter, and go to the crazy snake pitt of middle school.
As a hippie, in a middle school, he's a freak.
And in Claverage (C Average)  Middle School, it's a "tradition" that the biggest dork in the school is nominated to run for Student President. So when Cap comes along, he's perfect.
As the story goes along, he goes from socially challenged, to socially awesome.
I like this book, so read this! It's great!

Fly Girl



FlyGirl
This fun book takes place in the time of World War II and it's about a girl named Ida Mae Jones.
All Ida has ever wanted to do was fly. When her father was alive, he went to flying school and came back to the strawberry farm with a Curtis JN-4 plane, or "Jenny". That day he took everyone up into the sky. Ida was the last. When she went up into the blue vault of the sky, she never wanted to come back down.
Now in World War II, Jackie Cochran has agreed to help the U.S. Army train women to become pilots and help with the war overseas.
Ida sees this as a big chance to use her light skin to pass as a white girl, and so she joins the Woman Airforce Service Pilots, or WASP.
But later she learns the dangers, ridicule and trials to fullfilling her dream, not to mention she must deny being part of her family.
This book is a great book, heartwarming and fun. You should read this book, and it'll become a favorite book on your list.
Now, READ IT!! ;)

Drama: Raina Telgemier


Drama: Raina Telgemier
This is a book about a teenager named Callie who loves theater. This year she is in charge of set design and she's going to try to make a Broadway worthy show with the high school budget. But then there's the drama to deal with NOT onstage. Snotty girlfriends, a confetti cannon to fix, and when to cute twin brothers enter the picture things get even crazier!
Drama is a great book, and I like it, but if you don't like kissing and all that, then I suggest you don't read it. But it's a great book, and BTW it's a graphic novel, NOT comic book.
I love this book, and I recomend Miss Telgmier's first novel Smile. It's a story about the author, and I think it's also good.
So read this book because it's really great! Bye!
