I am currently reading Busted. Busted is painless way of learning ACT vocabulary, while still faintly enjoying a story. Busted is a story of a girl named Kim. Kim is a freshmen at Stanford University, but in the story she is on winter break. On break at most universities the dorms close. Due to the shut down of dorms, Kim as to go back home to Morrison. Morrison is a quaint and normal town, but is recently been having a drug problem at the private high school, Hereford. Kim's mother is a chief deputy on the Morrison police force. Being chief deputy, Kim's mom has to solve the drug problem. She has an idea to solve the problem, via using Kim as an undercover cop, at the high school.
In Busted the author, Emma Harrison, uses unsually large vocabulary words. This way the reader is challenged to fix the big vocabulary in his/her long term memory. Some of the words that were new to me were; engender, trepidation, and aplomb.
