A dead end building for dead end lives,
that's what most people think of the
school on Washington Boulevard. But
they're wrong, because a small seed of
an idea is about to catch hold and
change things. Some math students are
going to try for a place in the
Guinness World Records by building the
world's largest tetrahedron. It means
cutting, folding and gluing 16,384
individual pieces together. The
unlikely group starts to take shape
just as the small geometric shapes they
are building do. Told through the
voices of the kids themselves, this
book is sure to have you rooting for
them to make their dream come true.
