Tempest

Titles in this newly developed series for middle school and high school students analyze novels and plays that are included in most school curricula. Works are discussed in terms that help students understand them so that they can achieve higher grades on tests and written reports. More than mere plot summaries, these books explain themes, analyze characters, and discuss each author's unique writing style, mastery of language, and command of his material. Books also feature "Mind Maps" -- diagrams that summarize a work's most important details as a way to help students focus their ideas for exams and term papers.
