Applewhites At Wit’s End

Applewhites At Wit’s End by Stephanie S. Tolan, 253 pages

The Applewhites are back again.  This time, the manager of their family trust has embezzled all of their money and they are in danger of losing their home.  They decide to run a summer camp for creative kids to make money in an attempt to save their property and way of life.  Once they get started, they realize just how much work it will be, and when the kids start arriving, they really figure out what they are up against.  However, it looks like everything might work out, until they start getting threatening letters from the state about permits and health code violations.  If they can’t figure everything out, they may have to close.  This was a hilarious sequel to the first book, Surviving The Applewhites.  It could be read as a stand alone book, but any kid who reads it will want to read the first one anyway.  This is a great choice for kids who like realistic and humorous fiction.
