Synopsis:Eighth-grader Tess finds that algebra can come in handy in and out of the classroom. She uses it as a secret code in her journal, as shorthand for social status...and as a tool to help her solve two mysteries that shes right smack in the middle of. Synopsis:In the eighth grade, 1 math whiz <1 popular boy, according to Tess's calculations. That is, until she has to factor in a few more variables, like: 1 stolen test (x), 3 cheaters (y), and 2 best friends (z) who can't keep a secret. Oh, and she can't forget the winter dance (d)! Then there's the suspicious guy Tess's parents know, but that's a whole different problem. Can Tess find the solutions? About the AuthorWendy Lichtman writes personal essays for the Washington Post, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Good Housekeeping, among other national publications. She holds a degree in mathematics and has tutored public-school students in algebra for the past several years. When she decided to write about a teen realizing that some questions have more than one right answer, algebra, with its unknowns and variables, seemed a perfect metaphor. Wendy Lichtman lives in Berkeley, California. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!Average customer rating based on 1 comment:
