No fib! - A sweet read with an authentic middle grade voice, a slew of entertaining characters and and every flavor of pie imaginable. Kids will immediately root for the upbeat and endearing main character, Gregory K., a born writer amidst a family of math geniuses who don't understand his passion for poetry. His woes with school, family life, fibs and friendship are relatable at any age. Gregory K.'s eventual hard-won discovery of the beautiful connection between poetry and math (via the Fibonacci sequence) makes for a unique storyline served up with a heaping slice of humor. Review: Literary arts enthusiastic math instructors, rejoice! - I'm a pre-service teacher who is currently situated in a middle school integrated math and science classroom. One of my fall assignments is to conduct an interactive read aloud with the students. I might have chosen the 'easy' way and gone with science, but instead I took up the challenge of blending math and literacy. And not just reading/writing literacy, but creative literary arts. Here's an excerpt from the new common core standard for Grade 7 students Reading Standards on Craft and Structure: Analyze how a drama's or poem's form or structure (e.g., soliloquy, sonnet) contributes to its meaning. (Grade 8 asks for a comparison of two forms) In terms of math, the theme of perceiving patterns is a nearly universal concept the is instructed in all classrooms, whether as primary instruction or as review in preparation to move on with more advanced mathematical work. Why am I getting so technical here? I want to be clear about the connection I perceive between the value of a 'Fib' as an integrated math AND language arts feature. The Fibonacci sequence came up in my own coursework as well as in the MS class discussion. My reaction was "Somebody MUST have written poetry or something using this sequence." A brief internet search later yielded the author's name and a blog dated 2006. Shortly after that I came to his present-day blog and found the link for this book. What amazing fortune it was published only a few short weeks ago! That said, it's EXACTLY the reading material I was looking for to interactively engage this MS math class in discussion about the 'dance' possibilities between math and creative verse. To begin, Gregory K. is a completely likable protagonist who no doubt resonates as familiar to many in terms of his disdain for math...no thanks to his over-into-math family. Gregory's exploration of math usefulness and, especially connectivity to his preferred subject (writing), is a journey many, many of us have taken and many a student is currently on. It was effortless to pull together a mini-discussion that moves from Gregory's familiar sounding math-dislike to having to keep a math journal (not just a place to store math work, but an honest to goodness journal) to actually being informed mathematically (a la Fibonacci) in producing poetry. I LOVE THIS! I spent these first few days sharing this book with my cohort mates and math methods instructor...they all love it. Even the math-a-phobes were interested. I don't think I could over-hype this book enough at this moment in time because I simply couldn't find anything that made the Fibonacci-verse connection AND tailored it to the mid-elementary through early MS learning crowd. I hope this book never loses its charm, but I also hope that in the years to come it gets somewhat lost in a sea of similar books that genuinely work to integrate math into the literary portions of young minds. This moves beyond simply using math as a character in YA literature, it's an honest to goodness literary device. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,866,309 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,781 in Children's Math Books (Books) #8,131 in Children's School Issues #17,474 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (46) | | Dimensions | 5.75 x 1 x 8.75 inches | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 0439912997 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0439912990 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 240 pages | | Publication date | September 24, 2013 | | Publisher | Arthur A.
