    About this ebook

    Lilly Chavez just wants to be a normal kid. All she has to do to make it happen, is split her life in two.

    There’s Lilly, the girl with learning challenges who has to attend a special school. And there’s Veronica, a rising star in the world of competitive cheerleading.

    While Lilly struggles with ADHD, dysgraphia, and dyslexia, Veronica is winning competitions, gaining confidence and making new friends.

    The last thing she wants is for her teammates to discover her secret.

    Can Lilly stop everyone from finding out?
    Or will she have to learn to love and accept herself?

    Lilly better decide soon because Veronica is running out of time and hiding may no longer be an option.

    Marisol Sanchez

    The Name Game was inspired by Marisol Sanchez’s experience with ADHD and other learning differences. She wanted to write a book for kids to help them overcome the social stigma of learning differently. Marisol lives near the beach in Wilmington, NC with her three amazing children, and two dogs that treat her like a support human. Before she started writing, she experimented with various occupations: Call center management, market research, blogging and podcasting… But her goal is to be a full-time writer and podcaster. This is Marisol Sanchez’s first book. For details on book 2 and future projects make sure to follow Marisol on social media. IG: @Thegratitudecoach FB: Adventures in Learning
