This book is a suspenseful fantasy for middle grade readers that
has math puzzles woven throughout. The story tells of the
adventures of the good wizard, Galimedes (a combination of the
names, Galileo and Archimedes), and his two faithful helpers who
must recover the lost scrolls of time and seasons. The story is
packed full of action and suspense. Every page presents the reader
with a math puzzle which must be solved correctly. The reason: the
pages of the story are scrambled, and the answer to the math puzzle
on each page reveals the number of the next page to be read. There
is also a hidden secret message which can be found by stringing
together the first letters on each of the pages when they are read
in the correct order. Solving the puzzles makes for an adventure
inside an adventure. Great for math teachers, tutors, and parents
who want to inspire young people to see that math can be fun. A
great gift for the young person who loves fantasies that present a
challenge.
