Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8–Following an explanation of why these tasks are important, each book has easy-to-read chapters and text boxes. Extras within the texts include Brain Jam (activities to try), Project Jump Start, Tip File (suggestions and hints), Resources, and Ordinary/Extraordinary (examples to show how to improve a writing sample). Peppered throughout are humorous cartoon illustrations featuring a cow wearing a letter sweater from F. W. Prep. The only real disappointment is the brevity of the section on resumes and the inclusion of only one sample. Most of the other topics have sufficient examples. These books provide good, practical ideas for students who are having difficulty understanding how to begin a writing assignment or how to prepare an oral presentation.–Linda Wadleigh, Haymon-Morris Middle School, Winder, GA

More About the Author

I have written more than 70 books, most for young people of all ages. "Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman" is the first and still only standalone biography of the young men who dreamed up the world's first superhero; it is an ALA Notable title that received multiple starred reviews and appeared on the front page of "USA Today." My picture book on the "secret" behind the creation of Batman comes out in 2012.

I have written extensively for Nickelodeon Magazine. I'm also a cartoonist whose works has appeared in more than 100 publications including "The Wall Street Journal" and "Forbes." I do not know how to draw sewing machines or SpongeBob SquarePants.
