About Schooled by Jamie Sumner

Eleven-year-old Lenny Syms is starting sixth grade on a university campus as part of an experimental school. Its unusual approach includes meditation, open discussions, and observing campus life for anthropology. But Lenny has recently lost his mother, and he would rather be left alone than take part in a learning experiment.

With his father, a Latin professor who struggles with people, and a group of fellow sixth graders around him, Lenny must find a way through school and grief. Jamie Sumner’s 2025 middle-grade novel will suit readers looking for contemporary fiction about friendship, loss, and an unconventional school experience.
