Writing scholarship essays for college can be daunting. Invasion of the Head-Scratchers helps take the stress out of the process by providing real world examples of successful essays that have landed scholarships for recent high school graduates. Accompanying each essay are reviews by fellow students that break down what makes the essay work and how those concepts can be incorporated into their own essays. The book is well illustrated, using graphic novel-style panels for context and cartoon-style thought balloons with student advice and hands-on tips. A directory of selected national and local scholarships is also included.

Published by Unique Ink, a program of the Writing and Publishing Center of Roosevelt High School in Portland, Oregon, Invasion of the Head-Scratchers is written by students for students. The tone of the book is friendly and encouraging. It approaches the prospect of writing scholarship essays in a friendly, encouraging tone that says, "You can do it!"
