A handy resource for any high school student, this user-friendly reference is a bit more accessible than some. Sections cover grammar and writing basics, plus editing as well as various types of academic writing. Detailed instruction in each chapter is outlined step-by-step. While this is greatly appreciated, the real chapter “gems" are the sections on common pitfalls. These allow the writer to trouble-shoot their own writing. Chapters each end with a list of suggested reading. 251 pgs, pb.
