Capricorn 'Cap' Anderson lives on a farm commune. He has never watched television, never tasted pizza, has never heard of a wedgie. He has been homeschooled by his hippie grandmother, Rain. When his grandmother falls out of a tree and has to stay in the hospital, he is sent to a local middle school where his weirdness makes him a target for the school bully.
You know how people always tell you that you should just ignore a bully, that if you let them see that they get to you they'll just pick on you even more? That seems to prove true in this book. Cap doesn't actually ignore Zach's bullying, he is just sublimely unaware--unaware that bullying exists, unaware that anyone could be mean, unaware that he is being made fun of--and so the jokes fall flat or actually turn back around onto Zach. Though it may be hard to believe that anyone could be as innocent or naive as Cap, it is also hard to resist his appeal.
