A novel by Ben Mezrich
Charlie Lewis goes on a roller-coaster ride of risk, math, and gaming in this middle grade novel that parallels The New York Times best-selling Bringing Down the House, which inspired the movie 21.

Soon Charlie is caught up in the excitement and thrill of using his math skills for awesomeness...but what's at stake may be more than he's willing to risk. How far will Charlie go for a chance at the ultimate reward?
