<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When a monster offers to help a boy who is afraid of numbers by doing his math homework, the boy eagerly signs a contract and agrees to pay later, but the first time he is asked to solve a problem in class and cannot, he realizes he has gotten no bargain.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A math-phobic boy faces another dreaded evening of multiplication when a monster suddenly appears in his room and offers him a deal he cannot refuse.<br>After a quick signature on a contract, the boy's problems are solved, and his homework is ready to turn in the next day. At first, everything adds up perfectly. But when the boy's math knowledge is tested at school, his troubles begin to multiply. What did the fine print on that contract read?<br>In paragraph seven of clause ninety-three, <br>"If you don't learn anything, do not blame me!"<br>When the bill comes, will our hero have the money--and the math skill--to subtract that wicked monster from his life once and for all?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Mayer's vibrant, computer-generated illustrations, replete with gigantic otherworldly grins and mortal eyes stretched tall with fear, will appeal to fans of afternoon cartoons. Outlandish shadows convey the cautionary nature of the tale, while amusing details keep the mood perpetually fun. Narrated in humorous verse, this 'tale of mathematical mayhem' will provide an entertaining addition to math classes and a useful warm-up to tutoring sessions with less-than-enthusiastic students."<br>
