Her dad's job kept them on the move, and she was never in the same school two years in a row. She also has no tolerance for bullies or anyone who thinks they are better than everyone else. Her first day of middle school is supposed to be a chance to turn over a new leaf, but things go wrong immediately when she confronts the school bully.

After being threatened and locked in a closet, she trips over some strange circles on the floor and falls. It felt l Alex has always had trouble making friends. It felt like forever before she hits the floor, but when she does she blacks out. When she comes to she quickly realizes she is no longer in school and something isn't right.

While trying to find her way back home, she meets Archimedes.

Thinking he is just a crazy old man she tries to run, but he convinces her that there is nowhere to go but with him. It doesn't take long for her to realize she isn't just not in school anymore, she is in a world not her own. Now she must rely on Archimedes to teach her and train her to use math and Latin to create magic. Because the world she has landed in is a dangerous one, and there is a war coming. She must learn everything she can as fast as possible if she is to survive long enough to find a way home.

Libellus de Numeros is a story you will want to read no matter how old you are! Whether you like the YA genre or are just interested in a good book that is full of magic, betrayal, danger, and humor this is one for you.

The MAGICA Documentation Page

The writing is superb and the characters make you care about what happens to them. Jim West takes you to a world that is magical and dangerous, but he does it in a way that makes it seem very real. You can see everything perfectly as you read, and you almost feel like you are there. He also brings you characters you can relate to and care about as well as those you love to hate!

All of his characters are completely developed and complex. They all have layers to them and they are human. Alex, for example, goes from acting like a tough girl to sobbing in seconds because she wants to go home. She is a 13 year old girl, and she reacts like one. I also loved the way West makes math relevant and relatable and he makes it very clear that girls can be just as good as boys when it comes to such things.

Hopefully this book can make at least one girl embrace her love of math and science instead of being timid and shying away from it. From page one you are drawn into the story and you are invested in the outcome. Young or old, male or female, this book crosses all of those lines.

I am waiting with bated breath for more, and I'm sure you will be too! Nov 11, Shirley rated it it was amazing. One thing that blocks this from happening with a lot of students is that they are intimidated by Math. When they feel this way, it's not possible for them to optimally learn the Math content. Whenever this has happened in my class, I tend to seek a book, a non-instructional book that will bring Math closer and make it less intimidating.

When I read the book, I could relate to the struggles of the main character, Alex. I couldn't think of a better thing for author Jim West to have done than to have her meet the great problem solver and Math genius Archimedes and put her in an interesting Math dilemma, in an alternate universe. This plot and character mix set the tone for a wonderful story. Just as Archimedes had to travel elsewhere in real life to Alexandria no less to more excellently pursue his studies, Alex had to be transported somewhere foreign and live an active, suspenseful apprentice-type life under this man's instruction.

One of the first things West does is make it clear that Alex is non-traditional in her thinking. She has almost heroic qualities even before she ends up in an alternate universe. For example, she wants to play football with a group of boys, she doesn't back down from a bully. Alex has true heart and a persevering spirit. As she comes to crack the math code; she becomes an even greater heroine. Most of all, she becomes both a Math champion and a champion of Math. Conclusion Alex becomes so real to readers, that they walk beside her and work through problems with her.

They also share in her learning experiences. This is a great way to enable students to know and understand Math more deeply. Feb 11, Adrienne G. HP lovers, girls, boys, teachers. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Libellus de Numeros is an interesting fantasy story with a love of the Latin language, classical history, science, math, and adventure. There are nods to classical history, mathematics application, and human-interest.

It grapples with philosophical issues education for all, equity with gender, immigration that speak to readers in an age that has such disparate experiences as terrorism and Malala. Teachers, this is a good one for th grade. Parents, this is a good one to spark conversation wi Libellus de Numeros is an interesting fantasy story with a love of the Latin language, classical history, science, math, and adventure.

Parents, this is a good one to spark conversation with your kids. Combining a love of classical history and Latin, number theory, and young feminism, the author spins a tale of a relatable girl having an out-of-this-world or at least this time period! The book starts with the experience of a girl named Alex Grate whose name is a play on Alexander the Great! She loves her family, but feels left behind. She wants to have friends, but she finds boys hard to relate to because they discriminate against her based on her gender. Without too many spoilers, Alex winds up going to a fantasy realm, or historical time period that leaves her stranded without much hope of returning home.

Kids today know about the Nobel Prize-winning girl Malala Yousafzai who fought for her education, so this ideal speaks to the reader as being both fiction, yet in a line of young women who fought for their rights. West manages to rather seamlessly weave in historical figures which allows teachers the opportunity to assign tie-in history projects! This novel introduces many concepts that the well-studied will recognize from history think The Iliad and The Odyssey or be introduced to in a way that is relevant and fun.

Archimedes has an arc in the story that is revealed as you read—he was revered in the City and yet now has fallen from grace. There are other characters in the story that are somehow both familiar and strange. Dakon, the leader of the Guards of the City, reminds you of the characters in post-apocalyptic literature because he has the ability to care but is trained to use his brute strength.

He has the capability of being as brutish as the guards and military forces in YA novels such as The Hunger Games, Divergent, or The House of the Scorpion, but his character is hedged in history. Without giving away the ending, I would highly recommend this book to a variety of readers. It appeals to kids who like to read stories that have heroes placed in difficult circumstances similar to Harry Potter, The Green Glass Sea, or Esperanza Rising , but it has elements of historical fiction that appeal to students who obsess over facts American Girl or Dear America Diaries.

The book appeals to teachers because it connects STEM concepts that relate to the Common Core and other assessments—it is fiction, but there are quite a few aspects in each chapter that are imbued with mathematical, scientific, historical, and philosophical subjects. Lastly, students who are learning a second language or are English language learners would enjoy this book because of its sprinkling of Latin. There is an appendix with translations, but I would challenge a reader to connect cognates in English, as well as students who know a Latinate language Spanish, French, etc.

Dec 23, Mariangela Frazzetto rated it it was amazing. Every great story has a message, and other than its messages, I thought that this story made for a very fun read. It's a magical Disney-like story full of fun, eccentric characters and hits on a unique, rarely traversed theme that stresses the importance of Math, and how it relates and connects us to the world, and the problems we may face during the trials and tribulations of life.

This book is a perfect example of how Math can be made "fun" and it will surely help motivate young adults and adults alike to embrace the mathematical rules that orchestrate everything from the cosmos, to our daily lives. Nov 09, Richard rated it it was amazing Shelves: Awe……this adventurous book is top-notch! The story line is perfectly written to grab and sustain attention. The characters in this utterly imaginary book were well articulated.

From beginning to end this story is thrilling like a roller-coaster ride with diverse twists and turns. The author had me hooked like a fish with non-stop excitement and flawless imageries. The pages were moving so fast in anticipation o Math is magic! The pages were moving so fast in anticipation of the next chapter, I could barely keep up. Unique… is the true word to describe it. Dec 18, Alex Prosper rated it it was amazing. I love everything about this book, from the concept to the execution to the characters. Alex, a girl, is adrift in a new realm, putting her on a heroic journey, which is terrific on it's own given that good female leading roles in adventure and battle books are so preciously rare.

She comes to learn that what will save her is harnessing her smart brain, and that unlike the common assumption that math, science and adventure are not girl things, she will be taught to focus on the magic Brilliant! She comes to learn that what will save her is harnessing her smart brain, and that unlike the common assumption that math, science and adventure are not girl things, she will be taught to focus on the magic of math.

Modeling a great student-teacher relationship, the great Archimedes guides her, assuring her that math is not something she can cordon off or that one needs to be a STEM genius to master- "Math is everywhere and everything involves it. Overall, n this new alternative world, themes of the role of destiny, power, emotions, rebellion, dreams and self direction are presented in a rich, satisfying way. I loved the language in the book, too--war stories can be hard to write and this strikes a nice balance of strategy, procedure and vivid battle scenes.

We have a real sense of the high stakes through the characters. In all a great read that will leave YA fans ready for more. Dec 31, Kimberly Schimmel rated it it was amazing. Alex is an only child with parents who have demanding jobs and are seldom able to spend time with her. She is not the best at making friends, either. When Alex goes to her first day of middle school she stands up to some bullies.

Archimedes yes, that Archimedes greets her and shares that he, too, just appeared in this world many years back. Latin and math are presented in this novel as exciting tools rather than dull textbook topics.

I highly recommend this book for preteen readers. I can endorse this book as a librarian and an engineer. I received a free review copy for my honest assessment. Jan 17, Fantasy Literature rated it it was ok. Libellus de Numeros by Jim West is a self-published well-intentioned earnest debut middle-grade novel that reads, well, like a self-published well-intentioned earnest debut middle-grade novel.

The plot is relatively simple.

Jan 14, Amy rated it it was amazing. Libellus de Numeros is a story about a modern girl named Alex who gets transported to a magical realm where dark forces are afoot. I found it interesting how the author brought together math and magic. Solving math problems are like casting spells in a way if you think about how math is used in every day life. This book does really well to help kids realize that math happens more often in daily use then they realize. I also enjoy the use of real historical figures in the book.

I even took the ti Libellus de Numeros is a story about a modern girl named Alex who gets transported to a magical realm where dark forces are afoot. I even took the time to do a little research on who they were and what they did, since I only had a passing memory of the things I learned in school about them. I recommend parents and kids read it together and then discuss it like a book club. Nov 17, Liz Vinc rated it it was amazing.

The story follows Alex, a smart young girl, who is mysteriously whisked away to a mystical world where math and Latin have magical powers.

The main city, called The City, is ruled by a cruel council, who later must confront evil wizards looking to take control. There is a theme of not letting stereotypes control your destiny in this book that I found to be very empowering, particularly for girls. That said, I think boys and girls would both enjoy the novel and get something from it. Dec 28, Vivi rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book might very well help to make math and science cool with kids!

She devoured this book in a couple days! According to her, the book approaches math and science in a really interesting and fun way. I hope Jim West gets Book 2 out soon! The same year many other slides appeared in the company's catalogue: The mass production of slides also meant that the magic lantern now became affordable to the common men, opening a market for smaller lanterns with smaller glass sliders which instead of wooden frames usually had colorful strips of paper glued around their edges.

Although the popularity of magic lanterns waned after the introduction of movies in the s, they remained a common medium until slide projectors came into widespread use during the s. The magic lantern was not only a direct ancestor of the motion picture projector as a means for visual storytelling, but it could itself be used to project moving images.

Some suggestion of movement could be achieved by alternating between pictures of different phases of a motion, but most magic lantern "animations" used two glass slides projected together - one with the stationary part of the picture and the other with the part that could be set in motion by hand or by a simple mechanism. Motion in animated slides was mostly limited to either two phases of a movement or transformation, or a more gradual singular movement e.

These limitations made subjects with repetitive movements popular, like the sails on a windmill turning around or children on a seesaw. Movements could be repeated over and over and could be performed at different speeds. A common technique that is comparable to the effect of a panning camera makes use of a long slide that is simply pulled slowly through the lantern and usually shows a landscape, sometimes with several phases of a story within the continuous backdrop. Movement of projected images was also possible by moving the magic lantern itself.

This became a staple technique in phantasmagoria shows in the late 18th century, often with the lantern sliding on rails or riding on small wheels and hidden from the view of the audience behind the projection screen. In Kircher had already suggested projecting live insects and shadow puppets from the surface of the mirror in his Steganographic system to perform dramatic scenes. Christiaan Huygens' sketches see above suggest he intended to animate the skeleton to have it take off its head and place it back on its neck. This can be seen as an indication that the very first magic lantern demonstrations may already have included projections of simple animations.

In Robert Hooke wrote about the effects of a type of magic lantern installation: In German polymath and philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz proposed a kind of world exhibition that would show all kinds of new inventions and spectacles. In a handwritten document he supposed it should open and close with magic lantern shows, including subjects "which can be dismembered, to represent quite extraordinary and grotesque movements, which men would not be capable of making" translated from French.

Several reports of early magic lantern screenings possibly described moving pictures, but are not clear enough to conclude whether the viewers saw animated slides or motion depicted in still images. In German engraver and publisher Johann Christoph Weigel described several lantern slides with mechanisms that made glass parts move over one fixed glass slide, for instance by the means of a silk thread, or grooves in which the mobile part slides.

By a German optician and glass grinder named Themme or Temme made moving lantern slides, including a carriage with rotating wheels, a cupid with a spinning wheel, a shooting gun and falling bombs. Wheels were cut from the glass plate with a diamond and rotated by a thread that was spun around small brass wheels attached to the glass wheels.

A paper slip mask would be quickly pulled away to reveal the red fiery discharge and the bullet from a shooting gun. Zacharias Conrad von Uffenbach visited Themme's shop and liked the effects, but was disappointed about the very simple mechanisms. Nonetheless he bought seven moving slides, as well as twelve slides with four pictures each, which he thought were delicately painted.

Several types of mechanical slides were described and illustrated in Dutch professor of mathematics, physics, philosophy, medicine, and astronomy Pieter van Musschenbroek 's second edition of Beginsels Der Natuurkunde. Lanternists could project the illusion of mild waves turning into a wild sea tossing the ships around by increasing the movement of the separate slides. Guyot also detailed how projection on smoke could be used to create the illusion of ghosts hovering in the air, which would become a technique commonly used in phantasmagoria. An especially intricate multiple rackwork mechanism was developed to show the movements of the planets sometimes accompanied by revolving satellites revolving around the sun.

In one M. Dicas seems to have offered an early magic lantern system, the Lucernal or Portable Eidouranian, that showed the orbiting planets. From around the s mechanical astronomical slides became quite common.

The effect of a gradual transition from one image to another, known as a dissolve in modern filmmaking, became the basis of a popular type of magic lantern show in England in the 19th century. Typical dissolving views showed landscapes dissolving from day to night or from summer to winter. This was achieved by aligning the projection of two matching images and slowly diminishing the first image while introducing the second image.

The terms "dissolving views", "dioramic views", or simply "diorama" were often used interchangeably in 19th century magic lantern broadsides. The effect was reportedly invented by phantasmagoria pioneer Paul de Philipsthal while in Ireland in or He thought of using two lanterns to make the spirit of Samuel appear out of a mist in his representation of the Witch of Endor. While working out the desired effect, he got the idea of using the technique with landscapes. An newspaper about a London performance indicates that De Philipsthal presented what was possibly a relatively early incarnation of a dissolving views show, describing it as a "a series of landscapes in imitation of moonlight , which insensibly change to various scenes producing a very magical effect.

Despite the later reports about the early invention and apart from De Philipsthal's performance, no reports of dissolving view shows before the s are known and in some cases confusion with the Diorama or similar media is possible. In Scottish magician and ventriloquist M. Henry's introduced what he referred to as "Beautiful Dissolvent Scenes", "imperceptibly changing views", "dissolvent views" and "Magic Views" which were created "by Machinery invented by M.

Magic lantern

In Henry Langdon Childe presented "Scenic Views, showing the various effects of light and shade" with a series of subjects that would become classics for the dissolving views. In December De Philipsthal returned with a show that included "various splendid views Biunial lanterns, with two projecting optical sets in one apparatus, were produced to more easily project dissolving views.

Possibly the first horizontal biunial lantern, dubbed the "Biscenascope" was made by the optician Mr. A mechanical device could be fitted on the magic lantern, which locked up a diaphragm on the first slide slowly whilst a diaphragm on a second slide was opened simultaneously.

Philip Carpenter's copper-plate printing process, introduced in , may have made it much easier to create duplicate slides with printed outlines that could then be colored differently to create dissolving view slides. There have been many different experiments involving sorts of movement with the magic lantern. Several of these experiments were publicly demonstrated at the Royal Polytechnic Institution Institution. These were adapted with a mechanism that spins the disc and a shutter system. Duboscq produced some in the s and Thomas Ross patented a version called "Wheel of life" in and The Choreutoscope was invented around by the Greenwich engineer J.

Beale and demonstrated at the Royal Polytechnic. It projected six pictures from a long slide and used a hand-cranked mechanism for intermittent movement of the slide and synchronized shutter action. The mechanism became a key to the development of the movie camera and projector. The Choreutoscope was used at the first professional public demonstration of the Kinetoscope to explain its principles.

An "Optical Instrument" was patented in the U. Brown, using a phenakistiscope-like disc with a technique very close to the later cinematograph; with Maltese Cross motion; a star-wheel and pin being used for intermittent motion, and a two-sector shutter. John Arthur Roebuck Rudge built a lantern for William Friese-Greene with a mechanism to project a sequence of seven photographic slides.

It was reportedly made in , but also and a more likely date of have been given. The surviving slides show a man removing his head with his hands and raising the loose head. The photographed body belonged to Rudge and Friese-Greene posed for the head. The slides probably provided the very first trick photography sequence projection.

Friese-Greene's demonstrated the machine in his shop, until the police ordered him to remove it when it attracted too large a crowd. Phantasmagoria was a form of horror theater that used one or more magic lanterns to project frightening images, especially of ghosts. Showmen used rear projection, mobile or portable projectors and all kinds of effects to produce convincing necromantic experiences.
