This is a funny and heartwarming story about a girl who is a genius at math because of an electrical accident from lightning when she was 8. She had been homeschooled but at the age of 12, she returns to school. Yes, middle school. You know that will be difficult! Lucy knows she will face kids who will make fun of her. She's a savant when it comes to math but also deals with obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Now she needs to fit in and find friends! Throw in a pet shelter and rescue project and some quirky but loveable characters and you end up with a great book! I loved it!
This book reminded me a little of Wonder by R. J. Palacio but with more humor and math! This would also make an excellent read-aloud!
