Not my normal sort of reading, but my son got it from the library and told me to read it. He said that I would like it because it as kind of like The Hobbit. It did have references to pop culture fantasy such as Lord of the Rings, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Harry Potter and Eragon. What a liked most about the book was that it promoted a female protagonist as someone who did math, even if it was not what she wanted to do. Overall it was a cute enjoyable quick read. Thanks son.

My ten year old loved this and was adamant that I read it, too. This is an adorable series about a little mouse making her way through life and school, with a pretty big imagination. Dragonslayer sees our hero taking on the ferocious monster: math. I loved the fantasy elements mixed with everyday life.

This one is great! Lots of references to fantastic fantasy books, symbolism and a good lesson for students who struggle with math.

Babymouse scores an F- in math class. Her teacher tells her she can improve her grade if she helps the Mathletes team win the Golden Slide Rule. Is Babymouse the teammate prophesied to break the Owlgorithms winning streak or will she set the team up for failure once again?

Cute.

3rd-5th grade.

Babymouse just keeps getting better and better. Loved the exploration of fantasy tropes through the eyes of Babymouse. Hilarious

This was one of my favorite books when I was younger, and now I remember why! It was so fun and filled with math! Plus I love medieval settings and it had LOTR, so it was awesome! A great time! :)
