Synopsis

Want to impress your parents? Your friends? Your teachers? The college admissions office? Of course you do!

Brain Spark is a collection of short readings on major topics that are critical for a well-rounded mind. Focusing on people, places, and important concepts, Brain Spark helps teenagers and young adults make sense of adult conversations and news events.

The stories are short, fun and easy to read. In addition, the information sticks thanks to “spaced repetition” - the scientifically supported method of long-term memory enhancement proven to help maximize the retention of information. This is accomplished with memory-triggering questions throughout the book.

Cultural literacy is critical to success in an increasingly competitive world and broadens all of our horizons.

Get ready to feel the Brain Spark!
