This book is about a hippie boy who has to go to a public school for the first time.He has troubles and problems with the other kids picking on him but he doesn't stop. He keeps going thinking thats what happens to every new kid. He was home schooled. ( )

It was about a boy who was raised by his grandmother and home schooled until she had an accident, then he had to move in with a stranger and attended public school for the first time. The story starts with the accident and is told from a different character's perspective each chapter. I liked that it was easy to read, not too long, and had different viewpoints. The main character didn't fit in to the new school and it was interesting to see what how he would respond to the challenges the student body placed in front of him. ( )

HIPPIE BOOK!! well, it's just ABOUT a hippie. This book is fun and a quick read. Read it! ( )

This is kind of a "feel good" kind of book. I enjoyed it and am glad the story turned out the way it did. I do think some midddle school kids would also enjoy it. There were some humorous episodes in the story and I like how the chapters were named and expressed the perspective of the different characters. It may not interest all middle school age kids. ( )
