5.0 out of 5 stars Math and humor in combination, July 16, 2004
In this book, the Mathnet detectives are called to investigate a report of a haunted house. Movie star and comedienne Roscoe (Fatty) Tissue, who recently passed away and left the house to his parrot, Little Louie, owned the house. Fatty's thirteen-year-old neighbor Walter now takes care of Little Louie, who delivers the punch lines to jokes. Lately, Walter has been hearing noises in the upper levels of the house, so he is looking for some help. Fatty was also interested in mathematics, so he left a significant inheritance where the clues to finding it are mathematical in nature. The clues involve the Fibonacci numbers, and the Mathnet team successfully decodes them, finding the inheritance and a recorded message from Fatty.
This book is charming; the jokes are oldies, but still goodies. Most of them will be new to the middle school children that the book is targeted to. A small number of problems are given at the end of the book and solutions are included. It is an excellent book for late elementary or middle school children. It combines humor with the learning of mathematics, and that is a rare and enjoyable combination.
