Our 5th- 8th graders were completely engrossed in Amy’s presentation. It was a breath of fresh air to have an actual published author visit and listening to how God has been with her all along and to be reminded that He is with each of us.

Queen of Martyrs SchoolMy fifth grade students loved reading the book 7 Riddles to Nowhere, and were thrilled to have A.J. Cattapan visit our school! A.J.’s discussion was inspiring and motivating, and left my students reminded that God has a plan for each of their each lives.

Amy’s personal story of seeing God’s presence in her life was truly remarkable. Our students were inspired by hearing how her hard work, perseverance, and faith helped her accomplish her dreams.

Jr. High Teacher, Cardinal Bernardin SchoolAs for the book, I really appreciate the clean language, the exciting plot, the underlying bullying lessons, and the virtues of goodness all rolled into one great book. The plot was exciting and motivated them to continue reading. As an administrator, I couldn’t ask for more in a book!
