All the Answers
Jason's father is a compulsively orderly accountant, while Jason, a witty right-brainer, prefers to wing it. Algebra confounds him. His bedroom is a mess, and that's how he likes it. But lately, Jason's father seems to be trying to force good-natured Jason into his mold. Jason's pop has gone from being more or less always on Jason's side to being a despot who's always against him.
An ace at computer solitaire, Jason plays daily to predict his luck. But he can't predict Philip and Phelicia Nevimore, twin children of the new boss who is making Jason's pop miserable. Philip is Dexter Junior High's new star athlete and math whiz. He's also a bully who guards his gorgeous sister as if he were her own private secret service agent. Meanwhile, Jason's algebra teacher has seen through his excuses and wisecracks, and if Jason doesn't shape up, he might fail the class. Will Jason ever have a chance to get close to Phelicia? Will he pass algebra? And just how long can he avoid a serious discussion with his dad?
Anne C. LeMieux has written a poignant, hilarious story about one math-challenged young man's struggle to make it all add up.
