*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018*

Surviving the Applewhites is a hilarious book about an eccentric household of wildly different but all apparently crazy artistic geniuses. Inject one juvenile delinquent (rumored to have burned down his previous school), add a mad goat, a butterfly "school project" (sadly lacking only one butterfly), and a production of the Sound Of Music, and what you get is an insanely funny romp through the Applewhite household.

    Fantastic! Must Read!
  

*by C***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2012*

Surviving the Applewhites is a fantastic story about a troubled teen who has been shipped from home to home and school to school. "Jake" finds an identity as the troublesome teen and even when he isn't the cause of trouble he takes the blame for the attention and because he knows that no one would believe him if he denied having caused the problem. When Jake takes less than two weeks to be kicked out of a small town school the Eccentric Applewhite family take him into the homeschool they've set up for their talented children. Jake learns self reliance, self esteem, and how to take responsibility and care for others in his time with the Applewhites. Most of all he discovers himself in an extremely surprising and very non-cheesy way. The book is a fantastic read that every middle school-high school student should read. It's fun, different, and subconsciously teaches lessons. I can not stress this enough. This is a FANTASTIC book.

*by C***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2010*

This is a review my son, Shawn Scampoli (Age 10) completed for a school assignment.I liked the book, but at times there was too much description of events and unneeded topics.  There was a lot going on that just didn't need to be in the book.  It seems to me that the story should have stayed focused on the two main characters, E.D. Applewhite and Jake Semple.The story is mainly about a boy named Jake Semple.  Jake does not behave.  He smokes, curses and is disrespectful to teachers.Jake is sent to North Carolina because all of the schools in Rhode Island don't want him because of his behavior and because he burnt his old school down.  In North Carolina, Jake lives with his grandfather and goes to a new school called the Applewhite's Art Academy.Jake feels that he doesn't fit in at his new school and neither does another student named E.D. Applewhite whose parents run the school.  The Art Academy decides to put on a play called the Sound of Music and Jake takes a part in the play.  The theater they will use kicks them out because of a minor fire that they blame on Jake.E.D. has an idea that they could use the barn at the Applewhite's Art Academy to be their new theatre.  After a lot of work putting the theatre together, the play is a success.  E.D organizes the whole production.  E.D now feels needed because she saved the play from failing and Jake finds his talent in acting.
