A local mother and son have put their heads together and co-authored a new book about study skills.
Cindy Muchnick, Stanford University graduate and former college admission counselor and educational consultant, and her 14-year-old son, Justin, a Harbor Day School graduate who now attends Phillips Academy Andover boarding school in Boston, released their first book together in January.
The book, “Straight-A Study Skills,” details more than 200 essential strategies to help students ace exams and boost their grades.
