Applewhites at Wit's End by Stephanie S. Tolan

Interest Level: 5-8
Reading Level: 5.8
Lexile: 770L
Genre: Realistic Fiction


In this sequel to "Surviving the Applewhites", the Applewhites decide to handle some financial difficulties by holding a summer camp for the artistic student. Six campers and the Applewhites must join together to stop the state from closing the camp they have all grown to love.

A good story, great characters, just not a book that makes you want to carry it around it case you might have a minute to read a page or two.
