(4) 4-6 Middle schooler and math genius Charlie is invited into a group who plans to take down an amusement park by using their brains to outsmart the midway games. The author of the adult book Bringing Down the House has some clever ideas, but overdone writing ("Her eyes were like ice chips, glowing an unnatural shade of blue") mars an otherwise amusing story.
