It makes more sense for it to skew younger. I appreciate you coming by to add this information! Thank you for the clarification about the age — I just took what Amazon said.

I'm very happy to have found Melinda Thielbar just when we needed a math teacher to create this series, and very happy with how well the three artists worked together on the characters under Tintin Pantoja's lead. I'd like to clarify that the first series of Manga Math Mysteries covers third grade concepts, so are intended for kids starting at ages 7 and 8, rather than 9-12. Therefore, the first book is intentionally very basic. But we'll bear in mind the critique as the series continues. And, yes, Lerner's library-bound books, with exceptionally tough binding (not just normal trade hardcover binding) do have that school/library pricing. Should the books come out in a paperback edition, they'll be priced in line with our other paperback graphic novels. Thank you for the review, both the praise and the criticism.
