There is, apparently, an actual Grandmaster of Memory.

Dellis, a memory record holder and four-time winner at the U.S. Memory Championship, has crafted a book that offers exercises to improve memory. The book begins by setting a goal: defeating a mythical character called Memory Thief, who lurks at the summit of Mount Foreverest. The illustrations in each section are used as visual cues and act as memory guides to help readers navigate a variety of engaging memory exercises. In a section headed “Foreign Words,” for instance, the French “chou” (cabbage) is given a graphic mnemonic of a shoe crushing a head of cabbage. Even though the book’s overall goal is to follow the journey to the summit of Mount Foreverest, each chapter is individually accessible, such that readers don’t need to make their way through the book in a linear fashion. For example, if readers are having trouble memorizing lists, one chapter covers that particular skill. Another chapter coaches readers on how to remember names and faces. For help with schoolwork, there are memory tools for spelling and definitions as well as for how to remember numbers. These trickier sections may work best with a teacher or tutor on hand to defeat the Memory Thief, as the mnemonics gradually become more complicated.

A handy go-to for teachers and students that offers a variety of methods for all different types of learners. (Nonfiction. 10-14)
