== Summary ==
Jake has been kicked out of every public school in Rhode Island -- in fact, he started a fire in the last one he attended. This 13-year-old protagonist is troubled and misguided. During the opening chapter of ''Surviving the Applewhites'', the reader learns that both of his parents are in jail. Consequently, Jake struggles to make sense of the world and discover his true self amid the turmoil of his family life. Following his arsonistic incident, Jake's grandfather, Henry Dugan, is fed up with his teenage rebelliousness. Dugan arranges for Jake's placement in a home-school run by an eccentric family of artists, the Applewhites. Their educational framework, trademarked as ''The Creative Academy'', is nothing short of unorthodox. Now, Jake is challenged with navigating academic, social, and emotional life among the offbeat Applewhites. He becomes acquainted with E.D., the 12-year-old black sheep of the Applewhite clan. Together, they recognize their differences, build on each other's strengths, and find ways to succeed.
