Many people have never heard of dysgraphia and that is one of the primary reasons for this book. Dysgraphia affects writing skills and can make learning very difficult. In this book, Noah learns to work through his struggles with dysgraphia through perseverance, help from his mom, computer resources, and occupational therapy. Through Noah’s story, I hope to shed some light on this lesser-known disability and aid those affected. From the Author Hello! I’m Cassie, the author of this book, and a high school student from Virginia. For my Girl Scout Gold Award project, I wanted to write a children’s book that would help kids cope with the learning disability dysgraphia. I hope that kids can relate to Noah and learn along with him.

(Sunday Times) Jack Reacher has no place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. A remote railroad stop on the prairie with the curious name of Mother's Rest seems perfect for an aimless one-day stopover. He expects to find a lonely pioneer tombstone in a sea of nearly-ripe wheat. Instead there is a woman waiting for a missing colleague, a cryptic note about two hundred deaths, and a small town full of silent, watchful people. Reacher's one-day stopover turns into an open-ended quest leading to the most hidden reaches of the internet, and right into the nightmare heart of darkness. _________ Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Make Me is 20th in the series.
