I'm glad I continued reading Surviving the Applewhites. There are parts of this story that are very funny and had me chuckling. The family Jake Semple is living with are all artists, except one girl, E.D., who is Jake's age. He is supposed to follow her educational plan. The Applewhite children get to create their own educational plan. E.D. is the only one who has her plan written out and organized in a binder.
When first reading Surviving the Applewhites I assumed the one who had to survive was Jake, but now I'm beginning to think it's E.D. Her family is very eccentric and she considers herself "normal."
Jake has come to realize that if he doesn't make it at the Applewhite's his next residence will be a juvenile detention center where the real tough guys are. I'll read on to see if he can make the attitude changes he needs to make in order to stay out of the detention center.
