YOUNGER FICTION
Mills, Claudia

7 x 9 = Trouble!

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by G. Brian Karas. Third-grader Wilson is facing one of the hurdles of childhood: learning his times tables. Unlike math-whiz classmate Laura, who is up to her nines, or best friend Josh, who has mastered the fives, Wilson is doubtful about his chances of passing all twelve times-table tests before the deadline. Writing for the first time for early chapter book readers, Mills infuses her story with drama, tension, and humanity.
