This book is really good. . It's about a boy named Capricorn Anderson. He lives with his grandmother on Garland Farm. One day his grandmother falls out of a tree picking plums. So Cap has to stay at Mrs.Donnelly's house. She is his neighbor. So now Cap has to go to Middle school and he never has so far because he was home schooled his whole life. Right now only 1 person is nice to him. That person is Hugh Winkleman. But there is 1 person that is really mean to him. That person is Zach. If you like Realistic Fiction this would be PERFECT for you!
cool
This is a funny and interesting book to read!
It is about a boy who grew up as a hippie. It is about his experience in a middle school and acting like a normal kid.

i really liked this book! Its about a hippie who has never seen real life, the 21st centry! When he has to face relatity it doesnt go to well,..... :) PEACE OUT!
The plot of this story was interesting and included a lot of humor. My only complaint is that I thought some of the language as too rude for the intended audience (adolescents).
Ok, so this all I remember. A boy goes into the real world. Why? Because he used to be a hippie. He hasn't used a tv, phone, or even ate a hot dog! During the middle of the school year when campaigns start, will this boy make a change in the school? This was funny but I was dying for two of the characters to start a relationship together!
With a little knowledge about commune living I wanted to read this story about a boy that had different life than I could ever imagine! I really did not expect to like this book as much as I did!
