We know thereâs a lot of people out there who think our school is a dead end. And that all the kids inside it are dead ends, too. ⌠But theyâve got it all wrong. Just you wait and see!
James, Rhondell, Sharice, and Marcel are four inner-city students on a quest to build the worldâs largest tetrahedron with their math teacher, Mr. Collins. If they
succeed, maybe Rhondell will make new friends, Shariceâs foster mother may start to care, James will discover something heâs good at, and Marcelâs dad will finally
see that there is more to life than barbecue. Maybe theyâll even end up in the Guinness Book of World Records!
Weaving together the stories of the kids, their teacher, and the community that surrounds them, award-winning author Shelley Pearsall has written a vividly engaging story about math, life, and the importance of friendship.
