Surviving the Applewhites
What happens when the bad kid from the city moves in with a homeschooling North Carolina family of artists? Jake starts to find out he's not who he thought he was, and non-artistic E.D. finds out her talents are just as valuable as those of her family. A cute, funny novel that kids under the age of about 13 will love.

I love this book! There is just enough "bad boy" in Jake to make you feel a twinge of guilt at liking him, but you can't help it!

I like Jake-- he reminds me of a boy I know from Sunday school. I think Stephanie Tolan has known quite a few kids like Jake.
