This humorous tale explores how creativity can turn struggles into triumphs, showing that sometimes the key to success lies in the things you love most.

From the publisher

Bug is a quirky little girl who’s mad about insects and drawing . . . and hates arithmetic. But when her teacher promises the class a field trip if everyone does well on their math test, Bug knows she HAS to pass. This humorous story shows kids that there are many ways to find the correct answer–if you use your imagination and count on the things you love.
