Rumor has it he burned down his old school and got kicked out of every school in his home state. Only one place will take him now, and that's a home school run by the Applewhites, a chaotic and hilarious family of artists. The only one who doesn't fit the Applewhite mold is E.D. -- a smart, sensible girl who immediately clashes with the unruly Jake. Jake thinks surviving this one will be a breeze . . . but is he really as tough or as bad as he seems? 1341211 2002 Surviving the Applewhites total:1027|5:210|4:373|3:306|2:106|1:32| 1027 3704 1314 164 1 3 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 14:12:22 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 08:43:28 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jan 10 19:52:26 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 16:00:00 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Dec 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 18:09:30 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 18:39:24 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Wed Apr 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 13:38:29 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 14:01:24 -0700 2009 I think that's what originally sparked my interest in the book.
The book was well written, though rather predictable. It was subtle where it needed to be, explicit where it worked, and well rounded in it's characters.
