All of the Above
Four inner-city students decide to build the world's largest tetrahedron. The story is told through many characters in the story. The four students are Sharice, James, Rhondell and Marcel. The connector between the students and the community is Mr. Collins, the teacher, who had the idea for the tetrahedron project.
The story is based on a true event. In 2002, four students in Cleveland, Ohio built the world's largest tetrahedron, using 16,384 tetrahedrons. At the end of the book is an author's note on the project and a reader's guide.
