About Wizards and the First Two Whole Numbers

After a year apprenticed to a bookkeeper Ellie had given up her dreams of learning magic and having adventures. She knows her father is right, that she should be grateful to work for the old mathematician. No, she doesn't want to be a farmer, but Ellie can hardly see the difference between growing onions and counting them. But when her father is taken captive by a powerful and dangerous wizard, Ellie takes an unexpected journey with a new teacher and the frustratingly positive son of a fisherman to learn more about her talents and confront the man with the ability to manipulate both math's fundamental building blocks and Ellie's perception of reality.
