It’s Founders’ Day in Ravensburg, and the Math Inspectors can hardly control their excitement. The town’s seventh graders get to build their own float for the big parade and Stanley and his friends have been designing their masterpiece of a float for years. But in the middle of all the festivities, a note surfaces from one of the late great founders, Silas Raven. It turns out he left behind some golden treasure for the people of Ravensburg and this year, it’s up to the town’s seventh graders to find it. Will the Math Inspectors be up to the challenge or will this be the one mystery they just can’t solve?
Join Stanley and his friends in an action-packed, brain-teasing adventure, perfect for Math lovers, Math haters, and all kids in between!
Daniel Kenney and his wife Teresa live in Omaha, Nebraska with zero cats, zero dogs, one gecko, and lots of kids. When those kids aren't driving him nuts, he writes writes books and does a lot of laundry. A lot. No, seriously, you can't possibly imagine how much laundry he does.
I believe this book is my favorite of the Math Inspectors series. So much great math!!! Anyway, Stanley, Charlotte, Gertie and Felix are back again as seventh graders and they have an opportunity to solve a treasure hunt conceived of by the town's founder, Silas Raven. The clues to the location of the treasure all involve math. (Yay!) They follow the clues and end up at the treasure, only to have it snatched away by their nemesis, Macbeth. But wait... That couldn't really be the end. The Math Inspectors, English Club, History Club, Science Club, Chess Club, etc. all band together to figure out who Macbeth might be in order to capture the evil genius. Smile. A very satisfying book I am quite certain my great niece will enjoy when I hand it off to her.
