The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics

Norton Juster, Chronicle Books, N. Juster. Chronicle Books, $9.99 (80pp) ISBN 978-1-58717-066-9

Originally published in 1963, and back just in time for Valentine's Day, The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics by Norton Juster (The Phantom Tollbooth) once again bursts on the scene. Using only black and red, Juster tells the poignant yet humorous tale of a straight line in love with a red dot, and the line's attempts to woo her away from a slothful squiggle. Much merriment will be had by all before the hero gets his girl. ; Jan.)
