Rezensionen
This is possibly my favorite book that we read during my children's time homeschooling. It's based on history that is really significant and fascinating.
This book is exciting and well written. It is also very inspiring.
I liked this book and so did my 11-year-old. A wonderful bookstore owner in Alexandria told me kids still like it :) and kids who like math LOVE it. Short chapters so easy to read aloud. It is a biography and there are some tragic events--very gently handled, but characters are lost at sea etc. Good story about overcoming disadvantages, using your strengths and sensitive exploration of what it feels like to find math easy and some people difficult to understand. Highly recommended.
