    About this audiobook

    We know there’s a lot of people out there who think our school is a dead end. And that all the kids inside it are dead ends, too. … But they’ve got it all wrong. Just you wait and see!

    James, Rhondell, Sharice, and Marcel are four inner-city students on a quest to build the world’s largest tetrahedron with their math teacher, Mr. Collins. If they
    succeed, maybe Rhondell will make new friends, Sharice’s foster mother may start to care, James will discover something he’s good at, and Marcel’s dad will finally
    see that there is more to life than barbecue. Maybe they’ll even end up in the Guinness Book of World Records!

    Weaving together the stories of the kids, their teacher, and the community that surrounds them, award-winning author Shelley Pearsall has written a vividly engaging story about math, life, and the importance of friendship.

      Good story on perseverance. Based on the true story of a group of inner city Ohio middle school students who defy all odds to build a record breaking stage 7 tetrahedron. The book give a glimpse into the hardships faced by the students living in an inner city neighborhood and how some are able to overcome great odds to succeed.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book. After reading it aloud you could then tie it into math project. I also like that every chapter was told by a different person.

      this book is so rockin cool
    • 3/5
      Engaging story based on a real middle school math class that built a giant tetrahedron, challenging the world record. Told in alternating chapters by the characters, the story builds nicely as we get to know each of the students who work on the project.
