Who is afraid of math?
The reason that prompted the Russian-Canadian professor Vladimir Tumanov to write this book was to make his son Alex change his attitude toward math. Seeing that Alex preferred to read fantasy novels to studying mathematics, the author wrote this book which consists of an adventure involving mathematical riddles waiting to be solved from beginning to end. Published simultaneously in many countries including the Czech Republic, Malaysia, Russia, Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand , Canada and Macedonia, this entertaining and gripping book is actively used by mathematics teachers. The author's second book on geography, which can also be a challenging subject for children, was published in Turkey for the first time in the world.
Plot
Realizing that the strange pen he found on the road can magically solve any math problems, Alex doesn't suspect that he is about to embark on an amazing adventure. A mysterious book appears in his library and takes Alex, along with his friends Sam and Vanessa on a wild ride. In this book, the Emerald Queen Jayden, who has been kidnapped and is being held captive in a sorcerer's castle, must solve hundreds of mathematical riddles if she is to become free. But without the three children reading the book, the riddles cannot be solved: they and only they can free the imprisoned queen. As these challenging riddles are solved, the doors of the dungeon open one by one. For the three friends who have to help the queen, there is no escape but a breathless struggle where they themselves end up in danger of being captured by the evil sorcerer...
