Ahead of Her Time:
An SAT Vocabulary Novel

$8.99

Action, adventure, romance, ancient Egypt—what more could a person ask for?


How about 500+ vocabulary words to painlessly prepare you for the SAT & ACT?

Ahead of Her Time was written, first and foremost, to be wildly entertaining. The book centers around Noor Cunningham, a headstrong teen whose parents disappeared after discovering Cleopatra's palace at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

When an overlooked clue indicates her parents might still be alive, Noor travels to the edge of time to get them back. On the journey, she's thrown in Cleopatra's dungeons, wooed by a handsome Roman soldier, and forced to use every ounce of her (not inconsiderable) wits to survive.

Studying for the SAT or ACT doesn't have to be so hard.


Our brains are biologically wired to learn through stories. Kicking mountains of flashcards and tedious 900-page study guides to the curb, the novel spins a compelling story and inserts 500+ words into your brain before you even know what's happened.

For Students and Scholars

500+ SAT/ACT Words

Written by expert educator Erica Abbett, Ahead of Her Time seamlessly weaves 500+ high-frequency SAT/ACT vocabulary words into the story, making test prep both painless and incredibly engaging.

Action and Adventure

Packed with thrilling action and nonstop adventure, Ahead of Her Time is so fun, you’d want to read it even without the bonus of boosting your vocabulary. This is a page-turner that makes learning feel like the best kind of escape.

Immersion-Based

Humans are hardwired to learn language through immersion. Were you flipping flashcards in the crib? No! You learned through stories. Ahead of Her Time takes advantage of your brain's preference for immersion.

Glossary of Terms

A handy glossary of terms helps you master every new word you encounter. Whether you're tackling new vocabulary or just want a quick refresher, this glossary will help keep the adventure going without missing a beat.

Research-Backed

Scholars, scientists, and linguists have long agreed that immersion is the most efficient way to improve your vocabulary. That's why you learn a new language much faster by studying abroad than by taking classes!

Painless SAT Prep

I don’t know about you, but I can easily curl up with a good book. Curling up with an SAT prep guide heavier than an anvil doesn't invite the same sort of coziness. Ahead of Her Time makes SAT prep painless.
