Hi Gwen,
I have both the _The New Well-Tempered Sentence_ and _The Deluxe Transitive
Vampire_, and would recommend both of them. No grammar book is going to
thrill a teenager, but at least those two have a gothic theme that may make
reading bearable. My 16 year old thinks they're ok. (That's pretty high
praise from him.)

Willow
