Schooled by Gordon Korman
Have you ever met anyone who you thought was from a different world or time period? That is Capricorn Anderson – he has grown up on a commune and is suddenly forced into modern day society. All he has ever known is the commune and his grandmother. They grow their own food, he is homeschooled, and he has never really met anyone else. When his grandmother gets hurt and needs to stay in the hospital for an extended time, Capricorn is forced to live with a foster family and go to a real middle school. No one understands him and he is a prime target for bullies.
This was a great story about school and the odd-man out. Capricorn is a likeable character.
