I think what this book teaches you is that you shouldn’t mistreat someone just because they act differently, seem weird, etc.  I really, really loved this book, and it is one of my favorite books to read.  I think ages 9 and up can read it, and this book will certainly keep you interested.

In this book, a child named Capricorn, or Cap is sent to school when his Grandmother falls off a tree, but Cap was born and raised in a farm, where he has very little technology, and when he goes to C Average Middle School, all the people there taunt him for being weird, not knowing things, etc.  Also, everyone wants him to be class president, for a bad reason.  To drive him crazy.  However, Cap simply ignores everything bad thrown his way, and eventually, he gains popularity in the school, for standing out.  Also, at the start, Cap thinks he has to learn all 1100 names that are in his middle school, and miraculously, he manages to learn all of them.  

This has to be one of the best books I have read this year, if not the best.  Easily 5 out of 5 stars, and I know I will reread this book many, many times.  When I was reading it for the first time, time just flew by for me, it seemed like such a short period, but I finished the entire book!
