————————————————————————————————-

Capricorn Anderson has never heard of a wedgie or a drivers license. He only knows Garland Farm. His grandmother “Rain”, has been raising him for all his life. But when she falls out of a tree while picking plums and she has to recover from hip surgery he is forced to live with the Donnelly’s. Mrs. Donnelly is a former resident of Garland and is willing to take care of “Cap”. Cap endures a wild adventure in the middle school as he becomes a target for the bullies. But once they realize how nice and what a good friend he is he becomes suddenly their savior. What will the bully of the school Zach Powers think about this and what will he do? I loved this book because of the life lessons you learn and it’s incredible journey at Claverage or known to be C average without the l. I specifically recommend this novel to someone who loves reading books that have joyful endings. This is one of my favorite books if not my favorite and I will never forget it. I could read it again… and again… and again… and again.

I give this book 5* out of 5*.       © 2009 Jack All Rights Reserved.
