Description

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.
Charming . . . Social norms force Mac and Will apart; surprisingly effective, fruit-related pathos ensues before the two friends decide to buck convention and like whom they like. Who cares what anyone thinks? –The New York Times
