This book is about a 13-year-old boy named Capricorn (Cap) Anderson, he lives in Garland farm where he is homeschooled by his hippie grandma Rain. Caps whole life revolves around Garland Farm, he has never watched TV, he has never eaten pizza, him and Rain live the simple life, but when Rain falls out of a trree while picking plums she has to go to the hospital and Cap is forced to live in the city and attened the local middle school. Eveything is really new to Cap from iPods to Starbucks, but he finds his own way to fit in.

' "It's to crowded. People dress funny;they talk to fast;and all their intrested in is things! Cell Phones and iPods and Game Boys and Starbucks. What's a starbuck?" '
I really liked this line in the book I thought that it was funny and I thought that it was cool how you could see Caps point of veiw of our world, when he grew up in some farm for his whole life. I think that its true, what he said how everyone is intrested in things like phones and iPods. If I was Cap I would probobly say the same thing.
