Passage:
The Story So Far…
Jake Semple is known to be a bad kid from the big city. Rumor has it he burned
down his old school and got kicked out of every school in the whole state of Rhode Island. When his parents are arrested, Jake moves to North Carolina to live with his
grandfather. Once again, he manages to get thrown out of the local middle school in just
three weeks flat. No one knows what to do with Jake Semple. That is, no one except
Lucille Applewhite. She convinces everyone that the best place for Jake is Wit’s End,
the Applewhites’ farm.
At Wit’s End, Jake attends the Applewhites’ homeschool and meets other
members of the Applewhite family who are unusual and creative. The only nonartistic
member of the Applewhite family is E.D., a twelve-year-old girl who is wary of him.
Jake doesn’t know how he can survive living with the Applewhites, but there is
nowhere else for him to go except juvenile hall. Like it or not, Wit’s End is Jake’s last
chance.
Chapter 5
At Lucille’s vegetable garden, Winston flopped in the shade again while Lucille
explained to Jake that nature spirits had told her to make the garden round instead of
rectangular and that they came into her dreams sometimes to give her advice about
planting and cultivating. Jake rolled his eyes several times during her explanation, and
even groaned once or twice.
[…]
At the goat pen Lucille made E.D. tell the story of the rescue of Wolfbane and
Hazel because she said she got too choked up to tell it herself. As E.D. explained how
the goats, abused, abandoned, and starving, had turned up in the Applewhites’ woods
in the middle of the winter, Lucille’s eyes brimmed with tears. Jake, unmoveed, leaned on
the fence, his nose wrinkled against Wolfie’s ever-pungent odor.
E.D. had read somewhere that future serial killers began by abusing animals.
She made a mental note to alert someone if he started hanging around the goat pen.
When Wolfie got that crazed look he sometimes got in his eyes and charged the
fence, smacking into the fence post right where he was standing, Jake barely flinched.
The kid was not normal, E.D. thought. Grown men had been known to flee in terror from
Wolfie when he got that look.
[…]
“Why don’t you show Jake your curriculum notebook?” Lucille said. “He can see
what interests him most and get started. I’m going to get rid of these poor bouquets. They’re pulling down the energy of the whole room.”
[…]
She got out her notebook and opened it on the top of what used to be Hal’s desk.
Jake was leaning against the computer desk, his arms folded across his chest.
“Aren’t you going to look at it?”
“Why should I?”
“Well, duh! This is a school. We’re a class. And this is what we’re doing.” […]
He began wandering around the room, picking things up and putting them down
again. “Where’s your TV?” he asked after a while. She pretended to be too engrossed in
her reading to hear. “I said where’s your TV?”
She sighed. “There’s one in Zebediah’s cottage.” Jake swore. “You mean there
isn’t one anywhere else in this whole place?”
“We don’t watch much television,” E.D. said. […] “We have better things to do
with our time.”
Jake swore again. E.D. made an effort to focus on her book. After a while, she
heard Jake slump into a seat at his desk. “I don’t see any math in here. Don’t you do
math?”
She looked up. He had actually opened her curriculum notebook. “We do math
online. You’ve already been signed up for the same course I’m doing, with the same
tutor.”
“Could’ve saved themselves the trouble,” he said. E.D. ignored him and went on
reading. She’d actually managed to get engrossed in the story.
