Defining Twilight Press Release


defining twilight
Vocabulary Workbook for Unlocking the *SAT, ACT®, GED®, and SSAT®

HOBOKEN, N.J., July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Can you resist the allure of Edward's myriad charms -- his ocher eyes andtousled hair, the cadence of his speech, his chiseled alabaster skin, and his gratuitous charm? For fans of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight saga comes a new study guide for mastering these vocabulary words and others found on the *SAT, ACT(R), GED(R), and SSAT(R) exams. With Defining Twilight (Wiley; 978-0-470-50743-8; July 2009), you can learn more than 600 vocabulary words based on their context in the first novel of Meyer's wildly popular vampire-romance series!
How do you use this unique guide? Grab your own copy of Twilight, refer to the page where each vocabulary word appears, read the word in context, and come up with a definition. Then check your definitions against those provided in the workbook, make corrections, and complete the drills. You will acquire vocabulary skills; learn synonyms, word parts, and memorization tools; and get drills and quizzes to integrate what you've learned. To learn more about the book and read an excerpt, visit www.BrianLeaf.com and the Defining Twilight Facebook page.
Praise for Defining Twilight and author Brian Leaf:
"I never would have believed that students could study vocabulary and enjoy a great book like Twilight at the same time, but Brian Leaf makes it possible!"
-Peter Facinelli, Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight saga movies
The workbook is available in bookstores today. Coming in November is Defining New Moon, a vocabulary guide based on the second book in Meyer's series!
