School's Such a Bummer! - Marni Duggan - Bog

Groovy Freedom has never played a video game, tasted a Big Mac or used a computer. All her life, she has wandered around her northern California commune and been homeschooled by her Uncle Weed. But after Weed injures himself and has to go into the hospital for surgery, Groovy must move in with a social worker and her handsome, temperamental adolescent son. Groovy must also attend the local public school. While she knows plenty about Diggers, Deadheads and bellbottoms, she knows less than zero about daily survival at an American middle school.Almost from the morning bell, Groovy's headband and tie-dye T-shirt make her an easy target for the bullies at Francis Minut Middle School (nicknamed F Minus by its students). Groovy meditates at her locker and does yoga in front of the school. As soon as Heather Marcus, Queen of F Minus, checks her out, Heather wants to introduce the newcomer to life at their school: The biggest misfit is forced to run for student-body president...and wins.Will Groovy turn out to be F Minus's best president ever, or will she just become the school's newest joke?
