Offering inspiration for student writers, Schuster's nontraditional text divides grammar's rules into bedrock basics and breakable myths commonly taught in English classes but ignored by many of the best contemporary authors. The book delves into the history of traditional school grammar in order to sort out "which rules really rule," presenting lively anecdotes and practical activities to teach and empower students to write with confidence, precision, and authority.
