Fractions = Trouble! -- Claudia Mills

<p>If Wilson Williams thought multiplication was difficult, he is finding fractions impossible. And when his parents hire a math tutor for him, he is sure he's the only kid in the history of Hill Elementary to have one. Wilson is determined to make sure that no one finds out, not even his best friend, Josh. At least his pet hamster, Pip, is sympathetic. Pip is going to be part of Wilson's science fair project, because any project with hamsters in it is bound to be wonderful. But Josh has the coolest project of all: at what temperature does a pickle explode? Unfortunately, it looks as if Wilson's secret may end up exploding their friendship.<br>Claudia Mills' <i>Fractions = Trouble</i> is a fun and thoroughly relatable story that <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> calls an excellent selection for early chapter-book readers.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Claudia Mills<br><b>Publisher:</b> Square Fish<br><b>Published:</b> 07/03/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 144<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.63h x 5.15w x 0.55d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781250003362<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.7<br><b>Point Value:</b> 2<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>146532 / Fractions = Trouble!<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p>Claudia Mills is the acclaimed author of many books for children, including <i>How Oliver Olson Changed the World</i> and <i>7 x 9 = Trouble!.</i> She lives in Boulder, Color
