Reaching Reluctant Young Readers features 150 middle-grade books.
Each profiled title has the potential to hook the reluctant reader
and lure them to read the entire book. To specifically encourage
elementary and middle-school-age reluctant children to read, there
is first a pitch to get the reader's attention. That is followed by
a short reading passage to "set the hook" and encourage the young
person to read the rest of the book on their own. Further, the book
contains several hundred additional recommended titles. The books
selected for this collection were chosen following the criteria of
reluctant reader books created by the Quick Picks committee
sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association. While
these guidelines were designed for young adult books, they also
work well for middle-grade books. The criteria include: *clear
writing (no convoluted long sentences with sophisticated
vocabulary), *high interest "hook" in the first few pages,
*well-defined characters, *interesting plot, and *familiar themes.
Get a practical introduction to CockroachDB. This book starts with
installation and foundational concepts and takes you through to
creating clusters that are ready for production environments. You
will learn how to create, optimize, and operate CockroarchDB
clusters in single and multi-region environments. You will
encounter anti-patterns to avoid, as well as testing techniques for
integration and load testing. The book explains why CockroachDB
exists, goes over its major benefits, and quickly transitions into
installing and configuring CockroachDB. Just as quickly, you'll be
creating databases, getting data into those databases, and querying
that data from your applications. You'll progress to data privacy
laws such as GDPR and CCPA, and learn how CockroachDB's global
distribution features can help you comply with ever-shifting data
sovereignty regulations. From there, you'll move into deployment
topologies, guidance on integration testing and load testing, best
practices, and a readiness checklist for production deployments.

Low-level entertainment lawyer Nick Carter thinks it's a prank, not
an alien encounter, when a redheaded mullah and a curvaceous nun
show up at his office. But Frampton and Carly are highly advanced,
if bumbling, extraterrestrials.
A man's struggle: Detective Swin's past demons is what has made him
into the cynical and cold person he has become. The only thing he
cares about is his job and enforcing the law. His world is flipped
upside down when he comes face-to-face with pure evil. A Woman's
Desire: The one man she always wanted was the one man that never
noticed her no matter how hard she tried. That is when she started
to see his tough exterior weaken. She knew she had caught his
interest and she would do anything to keep it. But it all was
complicated by the events unfolding around them. Someone's Quest:
Missing for two decades she comes back under the strangest of
circumstances and she has not aged a day. She was back for one
reason. She wants to take out everyone, especially the police
officers that initially found her, despite her infatuation with one
of them. Deadly Enforcement takes you through all of this in a fast
and ruthless adventure
