Numbed!

my daughter wanted this as soon as she finished Punished. She loves these and couldn't read them fast enough

My daughter and I first read "Punished" by David Lubar and loved it so much that when we saw there was another book with characters Benedict and Logan we just had to have it. And we were not disappointed in anyway. I just wish there were more books with Benedict and Logan and if he does in the future we'll be sure to read it too.Benedict and Logan go to a Math museum on a class field trip. After taking off from the class the mess with a robot who zappa them both. Later that same day at the mall and drinking smoothies they both get brain freezes, which then makes them both Numbed and they lose all there ability to do math. The only way to recover their math skills is to go back to the Math museum where they have to go through a series of math quizzes in order to get their math skills back. With out being able to add, subtract, know the value of money or anything else math related it is interesting what these two best friends will do to hid their secret from family, friends and survive school untill they can figure it all out and get unNumbed.This is a great book and my daughter loved it. She is nine years old and I'd say she struggles with reading, but she did well with Numbed and loved characters Benedict and Logan.

Math teachers, this is the book for you!!! Lubar does an amazing job in this number! Even the chapter titles are math problems (5 + 4 - 8), cool huh?Follow Logan and his crazy friend, Benedict, as their try to undo their math dilemma and retrieve their lost math skills one operation at a time. Even if you don't teach math, any reader of this book will tickle their brain cells!

David Lubar should be ever teacher, parent and kids' favorite author. I love the authentic use of academic vocabulary in all his books. Numbed! is a great was for kids to see/read about math in a different, yet entertaining, context. I highly recommend this book. Don't forget to read PUNISHED, too.

"Numbed!" by David Lubar is an outstanding book for preteens that makes numbers and their manipulation (e.g., addition, subtraction, mulriplication, etc.) exceedingly fun! It is a sequel to Lubar's "Punished" book (also highly recommended) that makes words and their manipulation (e.g., puns, oxymorons, anagrams, etc.) also fun to learn.

Great book. My daughter loved reading it. Needed to replace a lost library book.

This book teaches math has a good plot and contains lots of humor. I recommend this book to any one.

This is a great book! I read it with my High School ESL students.
