The BIG FAT NOTEBOOK series is built on a simple and irresistible conceit—borrowing the notes from the smartest kid in class. There are five books, and each is the only book you need for each main subject taught in middle school: Math, Science, American History, English Language Arts, and World History. The reader will find every subject’s key concepts easily digested and summarized: Critical ideas highlighted in neon colors. Definitions explained. Doodles that illuminate tricky concepts in marker. Mnemonics for memorable shortcuts. And quizzes to recap it all.
The BIG FAT NOTEBOOKS are not just engaging; they also meet the highest educational standards. They align with the Common Core State Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and state history standards and are vetted by National and State Teacher of the Year Award–winning teachers. They make learning fun and are the perfect next step for every kid who grew up on Brain Quest.
