Surviving the Applewhites

(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old E.D. Applewhite is the sensible, organized sister in a free-wheeling family of artists and writers. Juvenile delinquent Jake comes to stay with--and be homeschooled by--the Applewhites after he's kicked out of yet another school. In this warm and amusing romp, E.D. and Jake come to recognize their own talents--and better understand each other--while working on a chaotic community theater production of The Sound of Music.
