Thank you to NetGalley and Common Deer Press, I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book is about a group of 3 kids, Justin, Jordan and Stephanie who all love math. They form a math club, The Math Kids, after all being in the same math group in school. This books follows them as they solve math problems, both in class and outside of school, all while dealing with bullies, Ryan, Bill, and Bryce tormenting them along the way.
I enjoyed this book. I don't really like math, but I did like how it was incorporated into the story. There are two problems outside of class given to the children, one by Jordan's sister and one by their teacher, that we as readers are given a chance to do ourselves. Before the solution there is a box, telling you to stop and see if you can do the problem yourself before reading how the kids' do it. I think that was a really nice edition to the book. Along with that there is also a section in the back of the book that tells you all about the maths done in the book. I think children, whether or not they like math, will find this a fun read.
I'm also intrigued to read the second book that comes out in 2019, which is also mentioned in the back of the book.
