Do the Math: The Writing on the Wall

(4) 4-6 After math-minded Tess realizes that the graffiti near the middle school is a series of equations, she solves them and decodes the message: ARSON. Curious to learn more, Tess tags her own encoded math problems on the wall. Lichtman's mix of math and mystery is a winning combination, but she adds in too many extra issues (bullying + shoplifting).
