Writing well is very important in order for teenagers to be successful in high school and college. Beyond school, many teens write to be creative or to express themselves. This book is an accessible guide to help teens improve all aspects of their writing skills, from writing a research paper to writing for fun.
The writing instruction provided in Dr. Horan's book is rooted in clarity and simplicity, and teenagers will find it informative and entertaining. It will prepare them admirably for writing in high school and college. A pleasure to read, and extremely effective.
--Dr. Roberta Levitt, professor of education, Long Island UniversityWritten with simplicity, humor, and a good dose of storytelling, this book will make teens smile as they learn how to write for school and for their own creative expression. Highly recommended.
--Maria Radman-Favre, Tony-nominated Broadway actress, and teacher of high school drama and EnglishThrough reading this book, teens will learn how to write academic projects as well as creative ones. This is a highly unusual combination, and I'm thrilled that this book is available to adolescent learners. It is an effective and friendly writer's guide, and one that every teenager should be reading.
