Great book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Common Deer Press for sending me an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.I requested this book because I had previously requested and read the first Math Kids Book and enjoyed it. This one was like the other one in that the Math Kids had to solve a real world problem using math. In this one they got a new team member and competed as a team of 4 in a math competition.I enjoyed this one just as much as I did the first, It's such a fun book to read. I love that the author continues to add in little sections telling you to stop if you want to try and figure out the math problem for yourself before reading what the Math Kids do.As I said before, this is a great book for kids who don't like math to be exposed to it in a fun way! I would definitely recommend you read this, or have your kids/nieces/nephews/grandchildren/etc. read it.Thank you again to NetGalley and the publishers fore sending me a copy of this book!

a great continuation to the Math Kid series

A big thank you to NetGalley and Common Deer Press for sending me an advanced e-copy of the book.I thought “A Sequence of events” was a great continuation to the “Prime-time Burglars”. I enjoyed reading the previous book for my love of math, and 2nd book is equally good, if not better. Moreover, I loved how the author incorporates various math concepts like the pigeonhole principle, factorials and Fibonacci sequence into the plot. I especially loved the example that Catherine gives Stephanie using flowers for the Fibonacci sequence. The author also gives a few challenging questions to the protagonists and the readers as part of the math competition. As an adult, it also took me sometime to properly analyse and solve them.In terms of the plot, I found the plot of this book more intriguing than the predecessor. Catherine’s father has been kidnapped, and it is up to the gang to save them. It was so much fun to read as to how they use various math skills to save him! The only problem I had with the plot was that the way the kids confront the kidnappers and save Catherine’s father was done in a light-hearted manner. In reality, these kinds of situations are very dangerous and I felt that the author has not seriously highlighted the implications on how they probably shouldn’t have taken the matter into their own hands. Furthermore, In terms of the characters, I really like Catherine as a new addition to the gang. In fact, I thought she was a better character than Stephanie.I feel this is one of the very few children’s novels that I am enjoying thoroughly as an adult. I cannot wait for third book in the series to come out! Overall, “The Math Kids – A sequence of events” is a great continuation to the Math Kid series. Readers of any age would enjoy reading this one.

Eight year old loved it and can’t wait for book 3!

My eight year old daughter says she loved the mystery in the story. She especially liked the character named Catherine. She liked reading about the math competition. The problems were a little more complex for her compared to the first book by it didn’t take away from the excitement for her. She also had the book autographed by the author and that meant a lot to her. We preordered the third book as soon as she finished this.
