Crossing the road safely is like anything else - you can learn how to do it.
That's what Miss Talentino tells Simon and the rest of his class, and she even gives them a demonstration.
But there is one big difference: if you get a question wrong in class, you won't end up as flat as a pizza!
"the entertainment value is high, ranging from the brilliant portrayal of classroom banter - comprehensible only to those on that wavelength - to the Woody Allen-esque Simon who is, perversely and to his disappointment, only good at maths. Cue the fabulous Miss Talentino - her eye as much on self-esteem as traffic hazards."
Lindsey Fraser, The Guardian
