Readers will put their multiplication skills to use in this clever math
adaptation starring the fairy-tale favorite, Rumpelstiltskin.
It's been 10 years since the queen defeated Rumpelstiltskin and now he's
back to collect his payment from years before. He causes a stir in the
kingdom by making mischief with his multiplying stick and threatens to
do far worse if the debt is not repaid. It's up to Peter, the young
prince, to take possession of the Rumpelstiltskin's magical multiplying
stick and learn how to use it--and multiply both whole numbers and
fractions-- in order to restore peace to the kingdom. A perfect mix of
math, fairy-tale, and fun, The Multiplying Menace will get STEM/STEAM
readers excited to solve the adventure one number at a time.
