Portrays homeschoolers in a very inaccurate, disturbing way based on stereotypes of homeschooling.

A very quick, enjoyable read. Cap is a commune kid for whom modern life is completely foreign. After his grandmother's accident, he ends up enrolled at a public school... and elected class president. I really liked this one, though felt the ending was just a little too abrupt. ( )

Cap has been raised by his grandmother - an old school hippie - on a mostly self-sustaining farm, and he's been home schooled there by her. He meditates, he works on the farm, he studies, and he's happy. Then she has an accident and he is forced to enter mainstream American society. He's in a house, with a family, and goes to a public school. It seems likely that he'll be tortured for his hair, his clothes, and not having a clue about anything that is normal for most kids. That almost happens, but not quite. Like most Gordon Korman books, it's oversimplified but it's fun to read. ( )

Just a fun read…. ( )

I love this story about a young middle school student who had never been in public school before and his innocence. He could do no harm, which took him down a path he never expected to end up on. ( )
