HarperTeen, 2007, $17.89
978-006-122956-5
Age/Grade Level: 5 and up
Rating: Special Reader


Tess obsesses over math. Everything she does, she does in some kind of math equation. There is a lot of math and some betrayal and even rumors of murder. I didn't particulary like this book because I hate math and the author does way to much explaining of algebratic and geometric equations throughout. I think if I were a girl who liked math, I would probably enjoy this book but it's definitely not a book that every girl will like.
