My jaw dropped when I saw that there was a novella of Reacher, and I knew I had to read it. If it's about Reacher, I want to read about it. Reacher is awesome.In this go around, Reacher is a teen, and he has moved overseas, which is nothing new for him. Another town, and another bully to deal with. In this case, it's the same.  The bully isn't the only problem. Reacher has to solve two other problems besides the bully.  To deal with the bully, Reachers uses strength, only as Reacher can.  Too solve the other two problems, Reacher must use his smarts.  For every problem, there's an answer, and Reacher will find it.I liked how Child portrayed Reacher as a child.  We're able to see small glimpses of what Reacher will be as an adult: Very smart and very strong.  It also shows the character of Reacher, what he's made out of, and the bond he has to family. The two problems that Reacher solved, that took intelligence to solve, weren't really his problems, but his father's and brother's.  We've heard in the past about Reacher and family loyalty, in this novella, we get to actually see it. It was such a nice touch to the characters of Reacher.I had to chuckle in a few places. The first is when he and his mom were talking about a test that Reacher had to take. Another place that made me grin was when the bully was taunting Reacher, thinking the bully would make the new kid pay. Well, if you're a fan of Reacher, you know how that ended up.  The third part that made me smile is when Reacher's dad told Reacher not to go to far when dealing with the bully, and Reacher asked, "What's to far?" His dad replied, "Homicide."  ROTF!!This is such a wonderful read.  If you're a fan of Reacher, then this is a must read. You won't be sorry, I know I wasn't.
