Spotlight – Math City by Ahmad Amani @ahmadamani #children #YA #fantasy
Synopsis
Math City is a place within a Math book, and the pages of the book are the streets of Math City.
In this City, Monster Number was grossly overweight and had a shaggy body, like a mammoth. In the beginning, Monster Number could not walk very well. Though he swayed a little, tottering and often falling, my father trained him to detect and to kill. In a few days, we attacked Math City.
Math City was bombarded, the doors and the walls shaking while the dark shade ofthe Monster Number came down, covering the city. Monster Number threw big stones, one after another; and like a repulsive ghoul crashed throughany barrier.
Then, after many horrible explosions, Monster Number entered the city, and we followed him. He smashed countless numbers as he plodded along.
Reviews
“I have a feeling that the author is from another planet. It is the only explanation for his knowledge.” – One of Math City’s Readers
“Math City is uniquely written in that the book is the city and the streets are the pages within it. Readers are introduced to characters that are products of mathematical equations, but the significance of these characters is much more than mere numbers.” – Stacie Theis
“Math City is different than any story you’ve ever read. Although, it appears to be a simple story written to entertain children through the use of numbers and math, it is anything but simple. The underlying story of war, conflict, and human rights is cleverly interwoven throughout the pages. Math City is a short story, but readers should take their time and absorb all the book has to offer.”
