After she gets seriously injured and has to stay in the hospital for a while, Cap stays with a non-hippie foster family and goes to public school for the first time in his life. 2. Smile by Raina Telgemeier- the wholesome graphic novel memoir of the author when she dealt with with typical middle school shenanigans--and teeth problems.  3. The Doll People Series by Ann M. Martin -a series of books of the adventures of an antique porcelain doll named Annabelle and a modern plastic doll named Tiffany.  4. Honus & Me by Dan Gutman- a baseball loving boy named Joe can travel back in time to any time period to meet his favorite baseball player if he sleeps with the baseball card of said player the night before. In this book, he meets Honus Wagner.
