by Lauren Tarshis, illustrated by Kristin Smith
Emma-Jean Lazarus is a lovable oddball who thinks she can use logicto solve the “messy” everyday problems of her seventh-grade peers. It’s easy—she just follows the example of her late father, a brilliant mathematician. Of course, the more Emma-Jean gets involved, the messier her own life gets. Suddenly she’s no longer the person standing on the outside of all social interactions. But perhaps that’s a good thing?
"Readers will cheer on Emma-Jean as she begins to see more clearly and enter more fully the world around her, messiness and all." - PW.
"The comic juice in the story comes from Emma-Jean's hyper-rational yet totally skewed take on reality .... a captivating, highly satisfying read." - Kirkus.
