Bookroo's summary

Tate sees the world through numbers, especially the number eleven, baffling those around him. While others dismiss his counting as nonsense, his brother struggles with the misunderstanding. When his brother finally connects with Tate's perspective, it opens a new world for their family. Can this newfound understanding bridge the gap between Tate's unique mind and those who love him? Discover how one boy's numerical passion transforms his family's view of the world.

From the publisher

Tate is different, and not just because he came from a pumpkin patch. He loves numbers, especially the number eleven, and he can count lots of things just by looking at them! But all this counting makes most people think Tate talks nonsense. Tate never seems to mind, but his brother does. No one seems to understand the way his mind works–until his older brother makes a connection and helps the whole family see things from Tate’s perspective.
