Surviving The Applewhites
By:Sofia
Recently we finished our social justice book groups. I was in Surviving The Applewhites. Surviving The Applewhites is a great book about a girl name E.D. Applewhite, and a boy named Jake Semple. E.D. is an Applewhite. The Applewhites are a very creative clan. E.D. feels she has no creative talent whatsoever. E.D. is very organized, and the Applewhites are not. She must learn how to survive her crazy, unorganized, creative family.
Jake Semple is a "bad" boy. He set his school on fire, got kicked out of every school in Rhode Island, and has a social worker! The Applewhite have been kind enough to let Jake live on their farm. Jake hates it, and plans to get out soon. But then some events including a dog, a little brother, a caterpillar, a play, and a butterfly change everything. Jake realises the good.
E.D. and Jake both have their problems, and troubles. But many things change their opinions. Surviving the Applewhites is no easy task, and E.D. and Jake are caught with just the same problem.
Will they survive the Applewhites Read to find out!
I read Surviving the Applewhites a few days before (not as book group book) and I found it such a great book that I finished it in one night. I couldn't stop reading it.
