GameSpot is reporting that test-prep company Kaplan will be rewriting a number of popular graphic novels to include over 300 commonly found SAT words as part of a new SAT preparation packet. Warcraft: Dragon Hunt is one of the books they've chosen to use for the program.

The novel in question is Warcraft: Dragon Hunt, the first book in The Sunwell Trilogy originally published in 2005 by manga house Tokyopop. Illustrated by Korean manhwa artist Jae-Hwan Kim, the novel was originally written by Richard A. Knaak, scribe of several Warcraft and Diablo-based novels.
