At last! The classroom is safe for kids from the wicked supervillains out to wreck their writing! No longer will you need to be afraid of the horrible Sabotage Squad or face the damage done by the evil powers of the Double Negative and the fearsome Comma Splice! It is not a bird! It is not a plane! Yes, it is SUPERGRAMMAR!!!

Never fear raising your hand again or getting that look from the teacher waiting for an answer! Yes, thanks to the awesome superpowers of superheroes, like The Noun Squad and The Verb Team, you will now know every part of every sentence and how you can harness them for powerful results!

Yes, your eyes can quickly learn about how superhero Conjunction has the power of coordination and find out the secrets to The Subject's power of invisibility! With SUPERGRAMMAR in your backpack, you will never be fooled by common grammar supervillians again!

The authors of SUPERGRAMMAR are an incredible duo! Tony Preciado has a background in special effects and 3D computer animation (including having worked on a number of awesome films, like Star Wars and Galaxy Quest) while Rhode Montijo is a famous illustrator and writer of books that kids love. Thanks to this amazing alliance of two highly creative people, SUPERGRAMMAR is a terrific and accurate resource for students or anyone befuddled by English grammar. It is one of the best resources I have seen for school aged kids and I am sure teachers would like it, too. There is even more information and resources on their website: www.supergrammar.com. With its vivid colours, animated characters and appealing comic book approach, SUPERGRAMMAR is both fun to read and a delight to the eye! Enjoy!

SUMMARY

Think grammar is difficult? You just need someone to save you from it!

The best learning tools for a young mind are word association, visual aids, and superpowers! In SUPER GRAMMAR, all of the major elements of grammar will be personified with superhero or super villain identities. You won't just learn about the part-of-speech called an adverb. Instead you'll meet the vibrant super heroine The Adverb, and you'll learn about her awesome ability to modify verbs and other adverbs. You won't simply be told that you shouldn't use a double negative in a sentence. Instead you'll actually meet the sinister twin brothers, Double Negative, and you'll learn how to avoid being tricked into falling for their double talk. The book's fun, full-color design looks like a mix between a reference book and a comic book. With SUPER GRAMMAR you'll learn to save yourself!
