Surviving the Applewhites

Word has it that Jake Semple burned down his old school and then was kicked out of every other school in his state. Now there's only one place left for him -- a home school run by the most outrageous family. Each Applewhite is an artist -- except E.D., the smart girl with a longing for order and predictability. E.D. and Jake are paired in an experiment in "cooperative education." The only thing they have in common is to survive the family's eccentricities. A production of The Sound of Music -- brings the family together and shows E.D. and Jake the value of the gifts they've had all along.
