In Missing Math, the numbers all over town suddenly disappear. The animals can’t count, use the phone, or even find out what time it is. Rulers, money, and computers have all become completely useless. Can the town’s detective solve this numerical mystery? Will he ever bring the numbers back home again? |
“Last Monday was an average day. It wasn't odd or weird - till numbers all around our town completely disappeared. They zoomed away in one big SWOOSH and left a total mess. The problems we are having now are simply numberless.”
