I loved this book, but I did not really get the full enjoyment possible from it until I had read it two or three times. This was because I did not realize until halfway through that the beginnning of each chapter said who's perspective said chapter was from, so that is one thing you need to know before reading.
Anyway, the totally amazing book itself is about a boy without a clue... literally. Capricorn Anderson was raised by his grandmother, in another wise empty hippie community by the name of Garland Farm. Cap has never touched a dollar bill, let alone made a friend his age. He is fine living with Rain, the previously mentioned grandmother. She teaches him, they farm their own food, and the extra crops pay for duct tape, an essential at the community.
So what happens when Rain falls out of the tree while picking plums and Cap is thrust into the outside world, and is enrolled in public school? It seems to him that the outside world is everything he and Rain stand against... And then some pranksters manage to get him elected for student council president. As if the world was not a confusing enough place.
