### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Lots of vocab practice in a very casual read
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2012*

I purchased this for my niece teenage but gave a couple chapters a read before shipping it off to her. For it's purpose, it's not a bad text. Every page has about 5-10 SAT words interspersed throughout the text with the definitions on the bottom of the page. The writing does come off a bit mechanical and the dialogue is especially unnatural when using SAT words I feel that for the purpose of teaching vocabulary words in context, this is forgivable. It's to be read not as the next great American novel to torn apart for literary criticism but as a fun tool for SAT practice.In general, the writing is very easy to get through and the story in engaging enough. It reads like a take-to-the-beach novel but with random sentence that suddenly jump into academic language. Hardcore readers will probably be a little bored but if you take this book as it is - as an alternative to computer word games and flash cards - it's a great tool.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Latin Perspective
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2010*

I like the book. Yet there is a 'blooper'that bugged me. Jose uses words that most english speaking people don't use. I know that this is an SAT novel, but still he's speaks english perfectly. Which is alittle unrealtic and lost me. Im hispanic and live in New England. My first language is english and I struggle speaking spanish. Yet, Jose lives in a very poor spanish speaking country and has an extensive engish vocabulary. I did like that this book did include hispanic characters because most books do not. I thought that the whole 'free willy' theme was so unrealistic. Being a hopeless romantic, i had hoped that Alexa and Jose's relationship would be alittle deeper. I was not satisfied and the ending was so cheesy. Jose says, "it alaways boils down to whether or not you know the vocab". I would have prefered if the book was more like other novels and not so robtic and boring.Definetly buy "Sunkissed" by Belinda Ray. its an SAT vocab novel also. And doesnt feel robotic like this book.

    Perfect for reading aloud with your teen!
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2010*

The high school girl I mentor and I read this book aloud over a period of many weeks.  (We alternated readers every couple of paragraphs.)  Each day we discussed the words and the actions of the heroine and other characters.  On our own we explored other words related to the featured words.  When we were finished we read Mayan Mission 
  
The Mayan Mission: Another Mission. Another Country. Another Action-Packed Adventure. 1,000 New SAT Vocabulary Words







  
  
    and loved that too, just as much.  When the next book appears - as I hope it will - I'll be first in line to buy [it!
