I was OBSESSED with this book as an elementary schooler-- this is what first really got me into writing! I must be such a nerd to have such fond memories associated with a textbook, but this one will forever remain in my heart <3

Very helpful book written in a language that junior level students can easily understand. it's great to have a couple copies readily available for students to use during class writing exercises.
