An imaginative, quick-paced novel, The Number Devil follows the dreams of twelve-year-old Robert as he encounters the “number devil” — a fictional creature determined to infuse the young boy with a passion for maths. Robert is teleported in his dreams to various landscapes that visualize a range of mathematical concepts from prime numbers to perfect squares, accompanied by the enthusiastic yet short-tempered devil. In this way, German writer Hans Magnus Enzensberger conveys the fundamentals of algebra and numerical thinking through an engaging storyline and vivid characters that children will immediately laugh at and love.
