The 14 Fibs of Gregory K.

The 14 Fibs of Gregory K. by Pincus, Greg. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780439912990.

Gregory K is the middle child in a family of mathematical geniuses. But if he claimed to love math? Well, hed be fibbing. What he really wants most is to go to Author Camp. But to get his parents permission hes going to have to pass his math class, which has a probability of 0. THAT much he can understand! To make matters worse, hes been playing fast and loose with the truth: "I LOVE math" he tells his parents. "Ive entered a citywide math contest!" he tells his teacher. "Were going to author camp!" he tells his best friend, Kelly. And now, somehow, hes going to have to make good on his promises. Hilariously its the "Fibonacci Sequence" -- a famous mathematical formula! -- that comes to the rescue, inspiring Gregory to create a whole new form of poem: the Fib! Maybe Fibs will save the day, and help Gregory find his way back to the truth. For every kid who equates math with torture but wants his own way to shine, heres a novel that is way more than the sum of its parts.
