He's never tasted a pizza. Never heard of a wedgie. Since he was little, his only experience has been living on a farm commune and being home-schooled by his hippie grandmother, Rain. But when Rain falls out of a tree while picking plums and has to stay in the hospital, Cap is forced to move in with a guidance counselor and her cranky teen daughter and attend the local middle school. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Cap knows a lot about tie-dying and Zen Buddhism, no education could prepare him for the politics of public school. Right from the beginning, Cap's weirdness makes him a moving target at Claverage Middle School (dubbed C-Average by the students). He has long, ungroomed hair; wears hemp clothes; and practises tai chi on the lawn. Once Zack Powers, big man on campus, spots Cap, he can't wait to introduce him to the age-old tradition at C-Average: the biggest nerd is nominated for class president—and wins.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gordon Korman (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":67704340054176,"sku":"9780545993210","price":4.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7d3d54c0-64e7-4279-92de-d683db52c2e7.jpg?v=1792088454","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780545993210","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
