Summary: A Book Sure to Please Reluctant Readers!
Comment: Jake Semple, has been a school problem and is finally placed in the Creative Academy owned by the Applewhites who allow much flexibility and choice in the matter of study and curriculum, and they are also as "different" in "different" ways as is Jake. In time Jake's life begins to change for the better as he interacts with the family and their "quirky" ways. Young people will find areas of empathy and understanding as they relate to the characters in their many humorous and varied situations.
Even reluctant readers will find this book enjoyable!

Summary: S...L...O...W
Comment: In surviving the apple whites a creepy guy, Jake, is sent to this home school instead of juvi hall. But to him its prison. Same with E.D. A daughter of the Apple Whites. Jake is your average bad boy whos in denial of the real world. Then theres Destiny: the cute little kid whos ALWAYS in everybody's way and always bugging Jake. The adults are pretty much all the same. And theres a goat thrown in there with the whole motly crew. and a dog. And of course a suposedly "Beutiful" dancer. And a parrot that curses. Talk about random. The auther can do WAY better than this. It takes no time at all to get into this book, but still...no ones that slow. The book takes it's time catching on to the main idea of the story. Books are supposed to grasp your attention and make the reader WANT to read on, not put the reader to sleep! You can go on ahead and read this book, but its pointless! There is no real plot and its almost predictable. Its just random and stupid with 1 or 2 funny parts thrown in. I was only attracted to this book because of the cover, but after a few chapters i had to stop reading it. A total and complete waste of time.

Summary: A Crazy Family and School
Comment: In the book Surviving the Applewhites by Stephanie S. Tolan, a bad city kid, Jake Semple, has been kicked out of every school he's been to. He was taken to a school called the Creative Academy, where you study what you want to, when you want to. A family called the Applewhites owns the school and they both are crazy, chaotic, and creative. During his stay, Jake learns new things and his life starts to change. He becomes part of a production of The Sound of Music along with other Applewhites. Through this school Jake finds deep inside himself who he really is, without being a bad boy.
We personally thought the book Surviving the Applewhites was a great book. We really liked it because it was funny, especially when a four year old named Destiny tried to dye and spike his hair. Many times we could relate to the characters because their interests and personalities were a lot like our own. It was very fun to read because of these things. We would recommend it to sixth - eighth graders or anyone who wants to read a really great book.
