After reading 18 chapters. I believe it’s the most boring book I have ever read. If I hade a choice I would stop reading the book and read a different book. Because now that we have the setting of the book and the characters it spent 2 chapters talking about one little butterfly. And the author also chose to spent another chapter just about a play. In my opinion it’s the worse book in the history of books.

One of the most important things to remember when feeding your horse, (hay or alfalfa) is to never give it to them on the ground. This is because the horse may get dirt in the food. Unlike when they are in the pasture eating the grass, it’s above the dirt so they won’t eat the dirt. They can be fead in a cheap plastic tub, or a feeder.

This is so your horse does not have to eat on the ground!

E.D. Applewhite a student of the creative academy in North Carolina. And Jake Semple a trouble maker from Rhode Island. The two main characters in the book Surviving The Applewhites starts off on a lonely porch, the main characters talk. But E.D. already knows every thing she wants to know, jake is a trouble maker best known for burning down his own school. Banned from Rhode Island Jake is coming to the creative academy, which E.D. was not looking forward to. Based on the first three chapters of the book it will be a very interesting book.
