Book Overview
A Novel Way to Improve Your Vocabulary
Set in Cleopatra's Egypt, Ahead of Her Time introduces more than 500 SAT and ACT words in context, allowing you to build a stronger vocabulary as you read.
With definitions at the bottom of each page and a glossary at the back of the book, even words like defenestrate or crepuscular are understood at once, without interrupting the flow of the story.
The research is clear: the brain learns language most effectively through context. Ahead of Her Time is built on that principle, presenting high-level vocabulary in a way that is immediately understood and naturally reinforced as the narrative unfolds.
At the center of the novel is Noor Cunningham, the daughter of two maritime archaeologists who vanished while investigating the Library of Alexandria.
When a clue suggests they may still be alive, Noor follows it to Egypt and into a race to save the ancient world's greatest repository of knowledge.
What follows is a fast-paced adventure through Cleopatra's Egypt, where loyalties shift quickly and the stakes could not be higher.
The story carries you forward. The vocabulary comes naturally.
If you are preparing for the SAT or ACT, or simply want a stronger command of the English language, Ahead of Her Time offers a more effective, and entertaining, approach than rote memorization.
