Publisher's Synopsis
The fascinating group of middle school friends from the first book in this series - Figure Eight - is back, but this time they're a little bit older and have added a few new friends to their group, all helping each other with their individual challenges.
Max McDonald has Dyscalculia, and it drives him crazy! Numbers float across the pages of his homework so fast they make him dizzy. His friend Eric is Dyslexic, so he struggles with words being all jumbled up and backwards. Tori now lives with Max and his family, after losing her father during the COVID pandemic. And there are new friends in Max's twin neighbors, Santina and Jeff, to get used to, as well as Bree (short for Aubree) who owns her battle with Alopecia. Another wonderfully realistic portrayal of family and friends (oh, and Pecos, the family parrot, too!), this book is a testament to the strength people can find in each other, no matter what they're facing. Straight from the author, "I was a middle school teacher, and I knew a lot of kids like those in this series. But there were no books about their struggles, so I decided to write them." PRAISE FOR the FIGURE EIGHT SERIES: "A delightful addition to Cynthia Fabian's books about Dyscalculia and all kinds of struggles facing kids today. The books are full of wonderful lessons about friendship and the love and healing powers of pets (like Pecos the bird). Such heartwarming stories!" D. D.
