 Remarkable
Lizzie K. Foley
In a sea of books about kids with super powers and mega talents, Remarkable is a refreshing read because of its very ordinary heroine. Jane Doe is the only kid in the public school in the town of Remarkable. All the other kids attend the Gifted School. The adults are all remarkably talented as well. Jane may be unremarkable, but it doesn't stop her from having adventures when four pirates and a set of evil twins come to town. And in spite of her averageness, she just might solve a mystery. Kids in third through sixth grade will laugh at this book.

From the Kids’ Book Blog… Schooled
Gordon Korman
Schooled is about a boy named Capricorn Anderson (Cap for short). He has lived on a commune with his grandmother, Rain, for as long as he can remember. But when Rain falls out of a tree and breaks her hip, Cap must adjust to his new "real world" surroundings. At his new middle school, being the school president is more a joke for the nerdiest student than an honor. When Cap, the new misfit, gets elected president, will he become the biggest joke ever, or the most popular kid?
I liked this book because it showed how very unexpected things can happen.
