She's student body president, debate club whiz, and first chair clarinetist. . . You could say she's pretty much the best at everything...Well, almost everything. Everything except math. And it's not like she doesn't try. Math just doesn't make sense in her brain. But it better start soon, or else she can kiss her presidency--and her campaign promises--goodbye. Soon she finds herself enrolled in a remedial math class, where, despite her best efforts, failure persists. All seems lost until a teacher helps her discover the truth: Verity has dyscalculia, a learning disability that causes her to mix up numbers. Armed with a new perspective, can Verity pass math, keep her presidentcy, and make good on her word to the student body she loves so much? Or will her presidency--and perfect reputation--all come crashing down?"--Provided by publisher.
