Arithmetic, or Growing Up is Hard to Do

Arithmetic, a novel by Todd McEwen, concerns a young boy who seems wise beyond his years but who experiences enormous difficulty with the subject of the title. Efforts by others to assist him in understanding arithmetic only make matters worse. The reader is drawn into the boy's world and may smile with recognition at some of the situations in which he finds himself. I highly recommend this tragicomic and very literate view of a young student's life and times.
