Gordon Korman provides examples of the following tropes:

Accidental Athlete
The Alcatraz
An Aesop + Truth in Television: In Losing Joe's Place, the narrator happens to help a hot girl with her college homework. Specifically, about food costs. Then he does the math after she leaves, and finds that it's actually cheaper and healthier to cook one's food than to eat out all the time.
Capulet Counterpart
Crazy Awesome
Crazy Enough to Work
Cursed with Awesome
Dork Horse Candidate
Go-To Alias
High School
Invented Individual - In The War with Mr. Wizzle, the protagonists create a fictitious student named Gavin Gunhold to mess with the school's new administration. The name becomes a running gag in many of Korman's later books. Gavin Gunhold (sometimes G. Gavin Gunhold) is mentioned, usually in passing, always as an incidental character who never actually appears (unless you count imposters posing as him).
Only Sane Man
Same Story, Different Names
Summer Campy
This Is My Side
