The engaging math mystery features diverse, relatable children who struggle with fractions, and yet, they must solve a problem posed by a mysterious old woman, Ms. I. D. Vide.

Before long, Theo and his friends discover the crazy old woman who lives there needs a dog bone for a spell, and the race to save Newton begins. Written by a former teacher and professor of mathematics education, the story's underlying narrative reassures students that making mistakes is a normal part of learning. Mistakes do not mean you are bad at math. When you solve a hard problem, it can feel great!

If you play a hard team and win, that's fun!"
