[Shane Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Charlotte transforms the painfully mundane task of essay writing into, dare I say, an enjoyable, and enriching experience. Curse her for making me want to write more...for making me feel like I can rise above the din of mediocrity and actually share my thoughts in a way that is meaningful for both writer and reader.

Used this book for ideas on how to break down essay writing for my fifth grade students! Never thought that I would be able to apply to my students but was pleased to be wrong. Easy to read!
