Summary Note "'Ya lying', interrupted Jali. 'Minus numbers dun exist!' Jali wasn't trying to be rude, he wad trying to learn. But this 'mathematics' was confusing. Numbers didn't go backwards from zero. That was stupid. You couldn't have less than no pipis or lilly-pills at all.' Being sent to boarding school in the city was harder than Jali could have imagined. But what no one yet knows, even Jali, is that this boy is a warrior at heart."--Publisher.
