Attention Girls! Here's a math book for you!


Cute and smart is better than cute and dumb. That's the message that Danica McKellar is sending in her book Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail. The book is full of stories and real-life scenarios to learn math-- no more boring story problems or impossible equations. My favorite part of the book is its illustrations and girlie-handwriting. Think Teen Cosmo or Seventeen for the math student. You'll love it!
