Verity тАЬVeryтАЭ Nelson can do it all.
SheтАЩs student body president, debate club whiz, and first chair clarinetist. You could say sheтАЩs pretty much the best at everythingтАжWell, almost everything. Everything except math.
And itтАЩs not like she doesnтАЩt try. Math just doesnтАЩt make sense in her brain. But it better start soon, or else she can kiss her presidencyтАФand her campaign promisesтАФgoodbye. Soon Verity finds herself enrolled in a remedial math class where, despite her best efforts, failure persists. All seems lost until a teacher helps her discover the truth: Verity has dyscalculia, a learning disability that causes her to mix up numbers.
Armed with a new diagnosis and improved grades, Verity is confident her math struggles will remain secret. But when a gossipy podcaster dismantles her perfect image, Verity must choose: remain part of a broken system or fight to fix it.
