Thirteen-year-old Harvard graduate student Aphrodite Wigglesmith returns to her hometown to teach remedial math. Middle schooler Mindy, who dreams of becoming a famous baton twirler, is failing math. When their lives intersect, the girls discover they're the perfect complement for each other in friendship. Alternating points of view narrate this lighthearted comedy.
