EDITORIAL :
From School Library Journal Gr 4–6—When her distant, brutal father is struck ill, Saville decides to disguise herself as a boy in order to obtain and fulfill his tailoring commissions for the king. She needs to buy medicine for her dying father, and feed herself and the starving boy she has taken in, Will.

Coop, has finally had enough and returns to the small town in which he grew up.
Hold on tight, 'cause here comes the drop. These calculators are difficult to understand and come with little instruction
