Marsha now considers dyslexia to be a gift that helps her write the kinds of books that she does - about people plunged in war whose stories haven't been told before and from perspectives rarely seen in children's literature.

Marsha is dyslexic and didn't learn to read until she was 9. Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch is the acclaimed author of 20+ books for young people including her popular WWII Making Bombs for Hitler novel trilogy and her non-fiction like Adrift at Sea: A Vietnamese Boy's Story of Survival. ![]() |
