Shelf Life

In the novel surviving The Applewhites Jake Semple is a mean, spiked hair, with many earrings, always cursing always wearing black young kid. He’s been kicked out of every school he’s ever gone to until finally he’s ended up on the Applewhites’ farm. The Applewhites are neighbors of Jake’s grandfather and they are all very interesting people.

They are interesting because they all have unique talents, or are either developing their own talent. All except for a young girl by the name of E.D. she is very organized and always seems to rub Jake the wrong way. At the end it doesn’t matter because the whole family gets involved in the father’s musical production “The Sound of Music” staring Jake.Everyone puts their talents together in this production and because of E.D.s neatness it all comes out great for the whole world to enjoy.

I thought that that this was a great book because I show how a young ruthless boy changes over a matter of time into a respectful young man. I also liked it because it talks about how a family who put their heads together and accomplished so much more than they can imagine.
