Review: The Pushcart War

The Pushcart War The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In junior high school I was assigned this book as a special assignment. I enjoyed the fantasy competition of city businesses and it affected me in ways it took me years to realize: 1) it confirmed my love of reading and drew me to libraries and, 2) the plot elements based on the mathematical concept of limits pushed me toward mathematics and mathematical thinking without me even knowing it.
