English offers perhaps the richest vocabulary of all languages, in part because its words are culled from so many languages. It is a shame that we do not tap this rich source more often in our daily conversation to express ourselves more clearly and precisely. Many a vocabulary book lists esoteric words we quickly forget or feel self-conscious using. However, there is a bounty of choice words between the common and the esoteric that often seem to be just on the tip of our tongue. Vocabulary 4000 brings these words to the fore. All the words you need for success in business, school, and life! Features: * 4000 Words Defined * Word Analysis section * Idiom and Usage section * 200 Prefixes, Roots, and Suffixes * Concise, practical definitions * Great for the SAT, GRE, TOEFL, and other entrance exams

Something is odd about the girl with the intense blue eyes and long flowing blonde hair, but Anna can’t put her finger on it, and soon her peaceful home is thrown into chaos. When a child goes missing, Anna begins to discover the true value of the academy and its teachings. But does Anna have what it takes to get her through this adventure?
