First to recommend

I have a theory about getting people to do what I want. Basically, you have to take the same approach as you would when giving a dog a worm pill: wrap it in something palatable and they'll be so distracted they'll swallow it without realizing that- Egads!- it was actually good for them.

In this particular case, this book does just that. Get your Team Edward (really, is ANYONE Team Jacob?) teen to prep for the SAT using the thing they are most obsessed with: Twilight. And without the liverwurst smell. Whoo ha.

Product Description
Can you resist the allure of Edward’s myriad charms—his ocher eyes and tousled hair, the cadence of his speech, his chiseled alabaster skin, and his gratuitous charm? Will you hunt surreptitiously and tolerate the ceaseless deluge in Forks to evade the sun and uphold the facade? Join Edward and Bella as you learn more than 600 vocabulary words to improve your score on the *SAT, ACT®, GED®, and SSAT® exams!

Use this workbook side-by-side with your own copy of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight!

*
Each chapter of the workbook gives you eight words taken from Twilight, with page references for you to read the words in the context of your favorite novel
*
Define the words on your own before turning back to the workbook for their actual definitions
*
At the end of each section you’ll take SAT, ACT, GED, and SSAT drills and quizzes to review and integrate what you’ve learned
*
Plus, you’ll learn synonyms, Latin word parts, and memorization tools throughout the workbook

*sniffs* I, actually, am Team Jacob. Great recommendation, though. You've got great explanation skills. (is that even a skill?)
