 Love this book! February 14, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I gave this book as a gift to my niece and my sister loves me for it. My sister hated math and she was afraid of passing on that legacy on to her daughter. Now when my niece is struggling w/her math homework they bring out this book. My sister and her husband are able to help my niece w/her math and refresh their knowledge in the process. They love the way each math problem is broken down step by step and they give you several examples. My niece likes the funny and insighful tips.

The book is a cross between a middle school math primer and an exhortation to girls to persevere in school, particularly in math class. The tone of the book is very positive and engaging.
The mathematics part of it is too simple for most girls interested in math at the middle school level and it may be geared more to fifth and sixth graders than the 7th or 8th graders who are more likely to be facing peer pressure to not show their intellectual capacities. I think that given her mathematical bent the book should have aimed a little higher, been a little challenging in parts since a child who already can solve all the problems in the book is less likely to be impressed about what she can achieve beyond her present capabilities.

She gives everybody who hates math a new perspective to the point where it actually gets, well, easier at least. This lady gives the teenage view and moves it into the view of a Graduate of UCLA. I got it for my daughter, but read it first. If she gets bad grades in math, its her own fault! Great read, great writer, and special person to share this stuff.
