Do the Math: Secrets, Lies, and Algebra

(3) 4-6 When math-minded Tess discovers that cute hoopster Richard has stolen the eighth-grade history test, she senses an inequality shift: R > T may no longer hold true. Tess views school, friendship, life in general--and even a possible murder--all mathematically, and to Lichtman's credit, it works. Likable protagonist + breezy writing + math that isn't dumbed down = page-turning novel.
