Who’s afraid of math?

The reason that pushed professor Vladimir Tumanov to write this book was his son Alex, who was afraid of math and preferred reading fantasy novels over studying it. Seeing this, Tumanov created a fantasy story filled with interesting math puzzles waiting to be solved throughout the adventure, gradually getting more challenging along the way. This fun and engaging book was published simultaneously in many countries, including the Czech Republic, Malaysia, Russia, and Macedonia and it is used effectively also by math teachers in their lessons to make math more understandable and enjoyable.

Overview

When he realized that the strange pencil he found on the road solves all the math problems that were bothering him, Alex did not know what kind of an adventure he was about to embark on. The mysterious book that appeared on his bookshelf almost captured him and his friends, Sam and Vanessa. According to the book, Emerald Queen Jayden, who was kidnapped and imprisoned in King Rechner’s castle has to solve hundreds of riddles in the form of interesting math problems in order to get free. As these challenging riddles are solved, the doors of the dungeons would be opened one by one. There is no salvation other than a breathless struggle for the three friends who have to help the queen…
