About the Author
Christopher Burger graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from Coker College in Hartsville, South Carolina, with minors in art and theatre. He has taught math for more than 10 years and tutored math subjects ranging from basic math to calculus for 20 years. Currently, he is the director of independent studies for Fusion Learning Center and Fusion Academy in Solana Beach, California, where he not only teaches students one–on–one, but also writes curriculum, oversees a staff of 35 teachers, and maintains high levels of academic rigor within the school. Christopher takes teaching and connecting with his students very seriously, and he believes he makes a difference not only in their math education, but in their lives.
Michelle Rose Gilman is proud to be known as Noah’s mom (Hi, Noah!). A graduate from the University of South Florida, Michelle found her niche early, and at 19, she was working with emotionally disturbed and learning–disabled students in hospital settings. At 21, she made the trek to California, where she found her passion for helping teenagers become more successful in school and life. What started as a small tutoring business in the garage of her California home quickly expanded and grew to the point where traffic control was necessary on her residential street.
Today, Michelle is the founder and CEO of Fusion Learning Center and Fusion Academy, a private school and tutoring/test prep facility in Solana Beach, California, serving more than 2,000 students each year. She is the author of The ACT For Dummies and other books on self–esteem, writing, and motivational topics. Michelle has overseen dozens of programs over the last 20 years, focusing on helping kids become healthy adults. She currently specializes in motivating the unmotivated adolescent, comforting their shellshocked parents, and assisting her staff of 35 teachers.

Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
