Praise for Bad Apple "Charming . . .

Who cares what anyone thinks?"-- The New York Times "The story works very nicely as a gentle celebration of friendship."-- Publishers Weekly "Hemingway's story of friendship against the odds is sweet."-- Kirkus Reviews "Hemingway's oil illustrations are rich with autumn colors, and clever bits of action and humor conjure up a world children will want to return to.

Synopsis
It takes a firm apple to stand up to bullies. When Mac, an apple, meets Will, a worm, they become fast friends, teaching each other games and even finishing each other's sentences. But apples aren't supposed to like worms, and Mac gets called "rotten" and "bad apple." At first, Mac doesn't know what to do-it's never easy standing up to bullies--but after a lonely day without Will, Mac decides he'd rather be a bad apple with Will than a sad apple without.
