Martin Lee was born and raised in New York City. His university degrees are in American History and Education. Following a decade of teaching in New York and Arizona, he returned to New York, where, ever since, he has worked as a freelance writer specializing in educational materials. He has authored more than fifty books for teachers, students and parents. Bloody Lane is his first novel and first collaboration with Matthew Fleury, his friend of more than forty years. Marty lives in Manhattan with his wife, Marcia Miller, and their one-of-a-kind dog, Gracie.
Since Marty was a boy, he has always enjoyed an active and ongoing interest in 19th century history, particularly the Civil War period. Guiding "Field Marcia" and assorted interested friends, he has led multiple tours of the Antietam and Gettysburg National Battlefields and other Civil War sites.
Marty has often silently walked the sunken farm road in Sharpsburg, MD, dubbed Bloody Lane after the battle of Antietam--a single day of unsurpassed carnage. His enduring fascination with that brutal September struggle led him to imagine and develop a contemporary story set on and near that hallowed ground.

The problems are phrased as mysteries so you must first read the story and then figure out how you can solve it. After this you go back to the story to collect the facts and apply the math. This is excellent practice for more real-life problems as well as for less-fanciful math story problems kids will see in school. Use Amazon's Search Inside feature to see some of the stories.
For the just-turned-7-year-old we usually helped him work the problems out - but he really likes math and has some understanding of probabilities and combinatorics. We expect him to help figure out what the necessary facts are and give some ideas on how to put them together to solve the problem. Sometimes on his own he reads them, thinks about them, and then reads the answer. My 11-year-old is in the highest level at math at his school (top 5% or something), but still considers the stories interesting and challenging for doing on his own. (Please note that I am not trying to brag about my kids' abilities, but attempting to give you an idea of the age and ability range.)
If you are looking for some fun math for your kids to do - I think it's likely they'll enjoy this book. I am very happy with my purchase.
