This is a story about a little girl whose passion is math. She's tried all sorts of other things--from cooking to music--but nothing excites her the way math does. She sees it in everything around her. The main message is that everybody sees the world in a different way, and being passionate about math is a good thing.

I do kind of wish the main narrative had emphasized more the relationship between math and all of the girl's experimental activities (dance, cooking, sports, music, etc.), rather than just having her dismiss them as not for her. In the back of the book, we see the girl's notebook in which she talks about things like fractals and trajectories. So while the reader can clearly see that math factors into all of those activities that she dismissed before, the girl herself doesn't always seem to acknowledge the links in the main narrative.

That bit with the notebook at the back is probably my favourite part of the book. It sort of turns this into a fiction/non-fiction hybrid. There's no real "story" otherwise, just a child talking about her unique worldview.

I would recommend this one, especially to kids who are passionate about math. I like the way it shows that math is something that's part of everything we do, and isn't really that strange of a passion to have.
