Like Karen B. Chapman's last book, another masterpiece!

Great reading like the last book sequel to this one! I'd loved this book.
Finally, a SAT novel that has a tough vocabulary
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
My Mom bought me five different SAT novels and after reading all of them, I can say that this was the only one that had a lot of vocabulary words that I didn't already know. This book was filled with hard words and didn't waste my time with words I knew back in fifth grade. I liked the tricky twosomes section in the back that points out the difference between similar sounding words like "aesthetic and ascetic" and "inimical and inimitable" and "ingenious and ingenuous". This was a great way to learn the really hard words.
A Lifesaver of a Book

I was in a total panic to learn this awesome vocabulary list of 250 words and happened on this great book. Thanks Dr. Chapman for getting me through it painlessly and quickly (or as you would probably say, with alacrity! At the same time I really enjoyed the story itself. Note that Dr. Chapman also wrote "The Marino Mission". I am reading that one next time just for fun.
A great way to learn a lot of words!

I purchased the Mayan Mission and the Marino Mission for my granddaughter because they were the only SAT novels that were written as a series, offering a strategy to acquire a lot of vocabulary words. I was delighted that my granddaughter actually seemed to enjoy these books and that she took the initiative to work her way through the exercises and learn an impressive total of 1600 words.
