This book is apparently fantastic! My 9yo mathy son is enjoying it very much.
Update: I contacted the author at mathbait dot com, and they were exceedingly responsive! I have updated this rating to reflect their excellent customer service and personal attention. Check out the website, too! It is amazing! As a homeschool family, we are looking forward to exploring mathbait.
However, the binding is falling apart. Because it's more than just a couple of pages, I am unable to fix it.
Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do?? (See update above.)

About the author
BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ IN MY ENITRE LIFE
As the title suggests, this is the best book I have ever read in my life. The story was exiting and engaging while also helped solidify complex pre-algebra concepts that are otherwise difficult to grasp. The equation for the page numbers was an especially fun detail, and I loved how the equation matched the concept introduced in the chapter. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone learning/going to learn pre-algebra! 10/10 would read again.
