Numbed!
David Lubar
(Author)
Description
When Logan's class takes a trip to a math museum, his mischievous friend Benedict is sure it will be a boring day--until he discovers a robot and its creator in an off-limits area. The robot proves feisty, and soon both boys get zapped. They realize only later that they'd left the museum without their math skills. To get back the knowledge they need for school--not to mention buying food at the mall, divvying up dinner at home, and much more--they'll have to get back to the museum and pass a series of math challenges. Being "numbed" teaches Logan and Benedict just how useful, and even fun, math can be.

About the Author
Reviews
"Lubar uses humor effectively throughout the book, but he also builds dramatic tension as the boys race against the clock to regain their skills through math-oriented challenges." --Booklist Online
-- (9/20/2013 12:00:00 AM)"Lubar's integration of mathematical concepts, such as the Mobius loop and probability, simultaneously teaches and entertains....This book will delight teachers and students alike with its wide appeal, zany humor, and vast potential for use in classrooms." --School Library Journal
-- (8/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)"The tests the boys have to pass are enjoyable and entertaining, stretching readers' brains and reinforcing the power of math. Teachers will enjoy reading this aloud and challenging their students....The sum of the parts is greater than the whole here, which is probably exactly the point." --Kirkus Reviews
