This is part of a description of the book on "Peg's Library Blog":
Korman has done it again! A thoroughly delightful story, implausible, but still lots of fun. Cap (Capricorn) Anderson has been homeschooled by his hippie grandmother in a commune outside of San Francisco, but is forced into public middle school when his grandmother breaks her hip. He immediately becomes a target because of his long hair, tie-dyed wardrobe and homemade sandals. Without his knowledge or consent he is nominated and elected eight grade class president, an office that has traditionally been reserved for the biggest nerd in school.
(Ms. Dorsey's note: I haven't seen anything in the book to indicate that this is taking place in California -- or have I missed something?)
Point of View: The book is told in first person, but from several different individuals. A new chapter means a different point of view.
I'm reading this now, and enjoying it.
