AHEAD OF HER TIME:
AN SAT VOCABULARY NOVEL

From $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.

STRAIGHT FROM READERS

I found this book while searching SAT vocabulary books for my 16 y.o. son. I thought I would read the first chapter before giving it to him and I ended up reading the whole thing! I enjoyed the book so much, I bought "Siena..." as well. Loved them both! I can't wait for sequels!

-Verified Buyer

I bought this book on the Kindle format and it’s brilliant. I truly wish I had this back when I was studying for the SAT. The words in context of a story are so helpful and you can click on the underlined words and get the definition instantly. Not only that, but it’s an engaging young adult novel with humor and wit that keeps me turning the page...

-Verified Buyer

"I apologize for emailing so late, but I spent ALL night reading your book from cover to cover! Ahead of Her Time sparked a love for reading that I’d lost. I just wanted to let you know I loved your book so much and it helped my studies immensely!"

PAINLESS PREP FOR THE SAT, ACT, AND LIFE ITSELF

BOOST YOUR VOCABULARY

500+ SAT/ACT Words

Written by expert educator Erica Abbett, Ahead of Her Time seamlessly weaves 500+ high-frequency SAT/ACT vocabulary words into a rollicking fun 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 Method

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 Approach

We all know immersion is the best way to learn a language, but did you know it's also the best way to improve your vocabulary? That's why story-based learning feels intuitive, almost happening "in the background" without effort.

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? It doesn't quite evoke the same sense of coziness. Luckily, Ahead of Her Time combines the benefits of both.
