Most titles in the series feature many fun-to-solve Brain Tickler problems with answers at the end of each chapter. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great Book!This book covers all the things your english teacher forgot or that you forgot. A great refresher book that everyone should have in their book bag. Great for all ages! Rating: - Great for students or adults!I purchased this for use at home as we home-educate our children. I thought this would help me to brush up on my grammar skills, but my kids immediately picked this book up and started using it on their own. It is very user friendly - an easy read for any age, and a great review for middle and high school students. My 14 yr old uses it as a reference when she is writing. Highly recommended!

Rating: - A Book for All Grammar PhobesEven though this book is geared for the 6th-8th grade student, it offers sound advice in a clear, easy-to-understand style. Who needs a grammar book that's full of long, linguistical answer that no one can understand. If I'm stumped by a grammar question, I don't hesitate to pick up this fun reference tool.
