You all know I have a 14-year-old who is a little bit Twilight obsessed. So when I found out about a vocabulary workbook designed to be used side-by-side with the Twilight books, I was all over it. I just received a review copy of Defining Twilight from the book’s author, Brian Leaf.

I think the whole notion of jumping on the Twilight bandwagon and using the book’s popularity to sell your own books educate apathetic teens is GENIUS. The book is full of references with exact page numbers so you can flip back and forth and figure out the meanings of words. I’m not so sure my child would find it to be a fun filled activity that she would do all by herself, but if I were MAKING her do it, she’d probably enjoy it more than she would enjoy a regular old English lesson from her teacher. And I’ll bet there are some kids who would really enjoy this. I noticed there’s another workbook out that goes along with New Moon. Pretty cool.

Defining Twilight: Vocabulary Workbook for Unlocking the SAT, ACT, GED, and SSAT…Can you resist the allure of Edward’s myriad charms—his ochre 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!

Kind of a fun book, especially if you have a kid who’s preparing for the ACT or SAT test. Check it out!
