Try as he might, Enzo can't be like the magician his father is. While his father is at a magic convention one day the shoemaker seeks his magic to make 12 pairs of shoes for the princes with only one piece of leather. Instead of using magic, Enzo uses mathematics like the great Galileo in order to solve his problem. The author provides math notes at the end, with answers for the questions: What is a tessellation? Are tessellations really named after a shoemaker? Can you really use tessellations to make shoes? What about Galileo and Kepler? Were they real?
