Funville is a math-inspired fantasy adventure by Sasha Fradkin and Allison Bishop, where functions come to life as magical beings. After 9-year-old Emmy and her 5-year-old brother Leo go down an abandoned dilapidated slide, they are magically transported into Funville: a land inhabited by ordinary looking beings, each with a unique power to transform objects.

Reviews & Endorsements
You too will want to visit Funville, a delightful land where magical and strangely mathematical powers run rampant!
-- Jordan Ellenberg, author of "How Not to be Wrong"
Mathematical words can sound scary, but the concepts they describe are not: “Funville Advantures” proves this so! See how inherent and natural the powerful ideas of function, correspondence and matching, invertibility, commutativity, identity, and degree are and do so without reading one lick of such jargon! Each and every one of our youngsters is a budding mathematician possessing the play and inventiveness of ideas to explore and thoroughly enjoy the playground of deep mathematics. This book invites us all to play!
-- James Tanton, MAA Mathematician at Large
