The New York Times bestseller-from the author of Math Doesn't Suck and Hot X: Algebra Exposed-teaches girls how to kick pre-algebra butt In her New York Times bestselling books, actress and math genius Danica McKellar shatters the "math nerd" stereotype and gives girls the tools to ace middle-school math in her unique, just- us-girls style.

McKellar is clearly reaching her audience: parents, teachers, and especially girls are asking for more.
