Once again, this contest is sponsored by Brian Leaf, author of Defining Twilight and Defining New Moon. You can find out more about Defining New Moon here. Read the description and a review of the book below:

“Brian Leaf has done it again! Just as Defining Twilight did, Defining New Moon continues to help students improve their vocabulary while reading Stephenie Meyer’s New Moon.”
—Peter Facinelli (Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight saga movies)

Why is Bella desolate and haggard? Will Jacob win her over with his infectious affability? Can Edward dare to flout the rules and summon the belligerent ire of the Volturi? State your allegiance: Team Edward or Team Jacob? Join Bella, Jacob, and Edward as you learn more than 600 vocabulary words for the *SAT, ACT, GED, and SSAT! With hundreds of new vocabulary words, this book can be used completely on its own or as a follow-up to Defining Twilight.

• Use this workbook side-by-side with your own copy of Stephenie Meyer’s New Moon!

• Each chapter of the workbook gives you eight words taken from New Moon, with page references for you to read the words in the context of your favorite novel

• Define the words on your own before turning back to the workbook for their actual definitions

• Take SAT, ACT, GED, and SSAT drills and quizzes to review and integrate what you’ve learned

• Plus, you’ll learn synonyms, Latin word parts, and memorization tools throughout the workbook

Brian Leaf keeps the Twilight obsession educational with Defining New Moon.

In Leaf’s latest book, Defining New Moon, we’re back in the world of Twilight. but this time we’re on to New Moon. Just like Leaf’s previous book, Defining Twilight, Defining New Moon takes words from each novel and explains what they mean. The lessons are learned through definition quizzes and answers, synonym multiple choice, analogy multiple choice, and sentence completion. As in Defining Twilight, the exact page numbers the words are on in the novel are also listed. Also spread throughout the book are cumulative quizzes and reviews of chapters covered up to that point.

Defining New Moon again has many hidden pop culture references that pop up at you like Monty Python ( The Black Night –“None shall pass.”), N’Sync, House, Grey’s Anatomy and even Harry Potter. These references are entertaining and provide additional context for the words being defined.
Defining New Moon is definitely a worthy successor to Defining Twilight and Leaf continues to follow the formula that made the first book so compelling. Even though I’m well past my ACT and SAT days, I still found Defining New Moon to be an interesting read, and found much to my delight that I learned a thing or two while reading it. And how better to learn something than through my favorite series of books?

There are so many great vampires within the saga already, so you all have plenty of inspiration! Have fun with this contest and good luck to everyone!
