Do the Math: Secrets, Lies, and Algebra

 Do the Math: Secrets, Lies, and Algebra (Lichtman, Wendy; 2007; 183 pages; ISBN 9780061229565)

This book is notable more for its clever uses of math in storytelling—with a female protagonist, no less—than for its plot.  Tess, an eighth-grade math whiz, uses mathematical terms to both view and describe many of the situations and relationships in her life.
