Bookroo's summary
A math-phobic boy strikes a deal with a monster to escape his homework woes. But when his math skills are tested at school, he realizes the monster's contract has a tricky clause. As his troubles multiply, he must find a way to outsmart the monster and reclaim his life. Will he master math in time to break free from the monster's grip, or will he be trapped in a numerical nightmare forever? Discover the twists and turns as he battles to subtract the monster from his life once and for all.
From the publisher
A math-phobic boy faces another dreaded evening of multiplication when a monster suddenly appears in his room and offers him a deal he cannot refuse.
After a quick signature on a contract, the boy’s problems are solved, and his homework is ready to turn in the next day. At first, everything adds up perfectly. But when the boy’s math knowledge is tested at school, his troubles begin to multiply. What did the fine print on that contract read?
In paragraph seven of clause ninety-three,
“If you don’t learn anything, do not blame me!”
When the bill comes, will our hero have the money―and the math skill―to subtract that wicked monster from his life once and for all?
