a Rafflecopter giveaway

Ghost in the Water was a collaborative effort by the editors at Science, Naturally. As a company, we strive to find new ways for kids to connect with science and math. We offer an array of titles including fiction and creative non-fiction books. Ghost in the Water was the first fiction work we undertook, challenging ourselves to see if we could come up with a book that was adventurous, fun and highly educational. Most importantly, the science and math had to be strictly non-fiction. As a team, we worked on Ghost for six years. To learn more, please visit our website.

    My kids love the Manga Math Mysteries. #5 is called The Ancient Formula: A Mystery with Fractions. One of their favorites.
