About this title

From the Author:

Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 ate 9!

I imagined this popular schoolyard joke coming to life. What if 6 went to a Private *I* in the *Capital* city, determined to discover how 9 disappeared? Once I discovered the hard-boiled detective voice of Private *I*, the story took off. Full of number puns and a surprising twist, I hope this book brings you laughter...times infinity!
