YOUNGER FICTION
Mills, Claudia

Annika Riz, Math Whiz

(2) 1-3 Franklin School Friends series. Illustrated by Rob Shepperson. If Annika Riz is going to win the citywide sudoku contest, she'll have to out-sudoku third-grade classmate Simon (from Kelsey Green, Reading Queen). The school carnival is also coming up, and friends Annika, Kelsey, and Izzy fail (three times) at baking cookies for it. Mills has her characters struggle with right and wrong behavior, as Annika accepts that simply trying can be worthwhile.
