The American Heritage Dictionary Define-a-Thon for the High School Freshman is designed to spur students and parents alike to energize their word power. Targeted at middle-schoolers and high school freshmen, this book is a fun and easy way for anyone who enjoys language to get on good terms with some useful new words.

The Define-a-Thon is arranged in two parts - a challenge section and an answers section. Each challenge question consists of a definition along with four candidate words, of which only one is correct. The answers section not only reveals the correct answer but also shows that word in an example sentence. Each incorrect answer is defined, so readers can improve their vocabulary all around. Many words are shown in context in quotations from well-known books that are often required reading for students entering high school, and brief notes enrich the definitions.

So don't hold back. Take up the Define-a-Thon challenge, and become a master of your verbal universe.
