Suppose that Alice had fallen into a wonderland where pasta was the only common denominator. In this clever parody of Lewis Carroll's classic tale, Alexandra Wright presents a mathematically aware Alice whose adventures are an appetizing combination of numbers, humor, and fun. With the Math Hatter dishing it up, the Adder using his noodle, and the Quantum Cat adding spice, arithmetic is full of pastabilities.
Alexandra Wright became an author at the age of 11 with WILL WE MISS THEM? ENDANGERED SPECIES, which was chosen as a Reading Rainbow Selection. Her second book, AT HOME IN THE TIDE POOL, was published when she was 13. CAN WE BE FRIENDS? NATURE'S PARTNERS, Alexandra's third book, was written when she was in high school.
