Instead of arriving at Camp Vermeer for a week-long summer art program, soon-to-be eighth grader Esther finds herself at Camp Archimedes--stuck with "math nerds"--thanks to torrential rain, car trouble, and her stepfather's lousy navigation. But Esther soon proves she's a number-cruncher, too, tackling a logic puzzle about a killer named "Sphinx." Offbeat secondary characters blur together in this otherwise entertaining ambitious math and mystery combo.
