However, the pacing feels uneven, character development is limited, and it’s not always clear where and why the plotline goes where it does or what is at stake.
Esther herself is solid and earnest, the math aspect is engaging, and the exuberant energy of the story is contagious. Eventually her transition to newly minted math nerd is complete. But then mysterious notes, camp history, and a spooky legend about the man who gave the land to the camp collide to lead her on a wacky hunt for what appears to be a serial murderer. Being the first to solve the inaugural brainteaser of the summer with an original solution gives her confidence. Once fate brings Esther Lambert to a brainy camp where she feels like “an alien from the planet Creativity,” she finds herself unwittingly drawn in by compelling algebraic puzzles and logic challenges. When bad weather and a wrong turn accidentally send an art-loving 12-year-old girl to Camp Archimedes, a math camp, instead of her intended destination, Camp Vermeer, things get a bit weird.
