12歲的露西，在一次意外遭到雷擊後，她的人生再也回不到過去平凡的生活—她被診斷出腦部因遭到損傷，而患有學者症候群，她發現自己的數學能力突飛猛進，但伴隨而來的是嚴重的強迫症。她喜歡在家自學，但祖母希望她能回學校上課，於是她隱藏數學天才的潛能，試著融入班級生活。露西原本因疾病而逐漸麻痺的心，在認識溫蒂和李維後慢慢發生改變，但校園生活隨之而來發生的一連串事件，讓露西體悟到，她必須解決比數學還要困難百倍的—心的問題。文字感人真摯，細膩描寫患有強迫症者的日常生活及充滿挫折和挑戰的國中生活，充滿真實感的描繪讓我們走入露西的世界，與她一同感受一段截然不同的生命歷程。

Lucy Callahan's life was changed forever when she was struck by lightning. She doesn't remember it, but the zap gave her genius-level math skills, and she's been homeschooled ever since. Now, at 12 years old, she's technically ready for college. She just has to pass 1 more test--middle school!

Lucy's grandma insists: Go to middle school for 1 year. Make 1 friend. Join 1 activity. And read 1 book (that's not a math textbook!). Lucy's not sure what a girl who does calculus homework for fun can possibly learn in 7th grade. She has everything she needs at home, where nobody can make fun of her rigid routines or her superpowered brain. The equation of Lucy's life has already been solved. Unless there's been a miscalculation?

A celebration of friendship, Stacy McAnulty's smart and thoughtful middle-grade debut reminds us all to get out of our comfort zones and embrace what makes us different.
