But when her efforts fall short, she is forced to enlist the help of those with questionable motives. n n A novel that is anything but clueless, filled with consideration and compassion (The Washington Post), The Last Equation of Isaac Severy proves that, like Hazel, you dont have to love math to fall under the Severy spell.n
