Applewhites Coast To Coast

Applewhites Coast To Coast by Stephanie S. Tolan, 309 pages

The Applewhites are traveling across the country, showing their unique educational philosophies to different groups and organizations, videotaping their efforts as they go, in an effort to win a contest.  At first, this seems interesting and fun, but as television gets involved, and crowd appeal, some of the Applewhites start to think that a popularity contest is not what they signed up for.  E.D. is conflicted about many things.  She misses her traditional education and is torn about her feelings for a new member of their little group.  Melody is a beautiful, troubled teen that Jake seems interested in and E.D. doesn’t know how she feels about that.  Melody also seems to want to help E.D. improver her appearance and E.D. isn’t sure how she feels about that either.  This was a fun installment to the Applewhite adventures.  I really liked it and would give it to kids who like realistic and humorous stories.I read this as an ARC and the library does not own it at the time of this review.
