(3) 4-6 Ten-year-old Flor Bernoulli would rather help Dr. Pi serve his famous "Sky-High Pies" than be stuck in math class. When Dr. Pi disappears, Flor embarks on a magical adventure to find him. Along the way, she encounters peculiar friends, discovers the magical nature of spirals, and rethinks her aversion to math. A breezy, entertaining read.

(4) YA Haunting Emma series. Emma (Deception), descendent of the greatest ghostkeeper in history and more powerful than any ghostkeeper in hundreds of years, continues to hone her skills with the help of her ghost allies. Like the first book, this one includes distracting pop-culture references (some dated) and plot gaps. However, Emma's fans will continue to root for her against evil wraith Neos.

(4) 4-6 World of Mythology series. Each book provides an overview of mythology from the title region. Folktales and legends, rituals and beliefs, creation stories, and deities are all very briefly covered. Well-placed images (some, oddly, sourced through Wikipedia) enhance the texts. There is occasional redundancy across volumes, and readers may be frustrated by the spotty glossaries and lack of pronunciations. Otherwise, they're acceptable introductions. Ind. Review covers these World of Mythology titles: African Mythology, Chinese Mythology, Egyptian Mythology, and European Mythology.
