The almost all-girl high school math team from Waukesha, Wisconsin, has lost – and then won – the regional math competition. They are off to compete in the National Math SUM-IT. These smart and funny whiz kids must unite to solve difficult math problems without getting distracted by teen drama and pressures.
Always witty, sometimes uproarious, this is the story of girls becoming women – conquering anxiety and rivalry, finding a way to affirm themselves as individuals and as team-members, learning to win at math… and at life!
MELISSA — 17, a junior. The Math Team captain. Obsessed with Einstein and wants to be a mathematician. Feels that she doesn’t fit in with the other girls, and is made fun of for her unruly hair.
MARY KATE — 17, a junior. A contrarian. Very Catholic, yet feminist, and proud to have been taught by nuns.
AMBER — 17, a junior. A member of the popular clique. Brutally honest but with a secret vulnerability. Enjoys doing math but fears judgment.
BARBIE — 18, a senior. Affluent and entitled, with very permissive lawyer parents. A math savant who has a hard time distinguishing fantasy from reality.
LEROY — 17, a junior. Raised in Laos by missionary parents and just moved to the USA. New in school and the only boy on the Math Team. Very excited and has no verbal filter.
McGERY — Late 30s-early 50s woman. The drama teacher who is fired and takes on the janitor position as well as advising all clubs.
