MATHS CURSE Publisher: Viking Children’s Books, 40 pages ISBN: 978-0670062997
FOLLOWING her teacher’s (Mrs Fibonacci!) observation that, “Almost everything in life can be considered a math problem,” a young girl finds it impossible to do, think about or look at anything without making a sum and dance out of it: a pizza lunch becomes a case of fractions; she solves her ugly plaid shirt problem by subtracting it from her wardrobe; and, finally, faced with an infinite number of math problems and armed only with a piece of chalk, she snaps it in two, puts the two halves together and escapes through the “whole”.
