Schooled

Capricorn Anderson has grown up in an isolated commune with his grandmother, Rain, with little contact with modern popular culture or conventional schooling. After Rain is injured, Cap is placed with foster parents and enrolled in a public middle school in northern California. His unfamiliarity with school life makes him an unlikely target for classmates who expect him to fail. As the story unfolds, students and teachers respond to his unusual background in changing ways.
