About the Author
Hannah Bowen is the definition of a whiz kid. A junior at Swampscott High School in Swampscott, MA, she used "Up Your Score" to study for the SAT and achieved a perfect 1600 on the test. She is ranked first in her class and is a member of her school's political action, international relations, and environmental action clubs, as well as the math, track, and soccer teams. Somehow she also makes time to volunteer at a soup kitchen.
