Review:
"Puzzles and basic mathematical concepts are integrated more or less seamlessly into these entertaining graphic novels. Joy, Amy, Sam, and Adam, all members of Sifu Faiza's kung fu class, demonstrate honesty, intelligence, teamwork, and efficient use of resources while solving minor mysteries in their hometown. The colorful manga-style artwork is energetic and well executed. Fine additions where books such as Jimmy Gownley's 'Amelia Rules' (S & S) and Jarrett J. Krosoczka's 'Lunch Lady' (Knopf) are popular."
