Summary
On the outskirts of a small town in Iowa, Sebastian Prendergast lives in a geodesic dome with his eccentric grandmother, who has spent the last eleven years homeschooling him on the teachings of futurist philosopher R. Buckminster Fuller. But when Sebastiangass grandmother has a stroke, he is forced to leave the dome and discover what it means to live a normal life. Jared Whitcomb is a chain-smoking sixteen-year-old heart transplant recipient who befriends Sebastian, and begins to teach him about all the things he has been missing out on, including girls, grilled cheese sandwiches with grape soda, and Sid Vicious. Together they form a punk band called The Rash, and with the help of Jaredgass sister, Meredith, prepare to take the local church talent show by storm. But when Sebastiangass grandmother wants him to return to the dome and take Buckygass message to the world, will Sebastian have to give up The Rashb2sand lose his chance at winning Meredithgass heart? Unexpectedly poignant and richly comic, The House of Tomorrow is a novel about the power of music, the exquisite torture of first love, and the many places we call home. --from book jacket
