Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu

“Sometimes I think feelings are bigger than people. More powerful. They make people do things that can't be undone. I used to think feelings were part of a person, but lately I've been thinking they are separate beings, that they come like aliens and invade people's bodies and cause destruction.”

“Stack WISHING SEASON next to BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. Anica Mrose Rissi paints a picture and sings a song with a tremendous, unforgettable voice. As emotionally healing as it is ultimately joyful.” —Rita Williams Garcia, Newbery Honor author of ONE CRAZY SUMMER

“Beautiful and moving, this book will make you cry. But it will also mend your heart. A story that reminds us that love will help see us through, even in the darkest of times.” —Jasmine Warga, Newbery Honor author of OTHER WORDS FOR HOME

“Tender, heart-shifting, and deeply absorbing, Anica Mrose Rissi’s latest novel is a magical exploration of what it means to love and let go. A truly beautiful and profoundly intimate story.” —Corey Ann Haydu, author of EVENTOWN

“With beautiful prose and quiet humor, Anica Mrose Rissi tells a story of grief and loneliness and love and joy, the meandering, maddening mess that is healing from a great loss, and the (kind, awkward, surprising) people who help you through it. A quietly powerful tale that feels like an ageless classic.” —Claire Legrand, author of SOME KIND OF HAPPINESS

"A startlingly honest portrayal of grief, WISHING SEASON carries us through the bewildering beauty of a perfect Maine summer and a season of terrible loss. I loved this wise, lovely, delicate story of what we hold onto and how we let go.” —Laurel Snyder, author of ORPHAN ISLAND

Oddtown

This is adapted from the excellent text "Linear algebra techniques in combinatorics" by Laszlo Babai and Peter Frankl.

Suppose you have n people in a town, where n is even. They like to form clubs. However, the despot of the town has decided that they are forming too many clubs. So, she decides to rename the town to eventown and pass a few laws:

Every pair of clubs must differ by at least one member (eg if club A consists of Alice and Bob and club B also consists of Alice and Bob, one of the two clubs has to go).

Every club must have an even number of members (0 is even, but from rule 1 there can only be a single club with 0 members).

Every pair of clubs must share an even number of members. In other words, for any pair of clubs, the number of people that are in both clubs must be even. Club seems like a fake word to me now.

The people whine and moan about these new rules, but they comply. In order to spite the despot, though, they come up with a strategy to make as many clubs as possible. They get married. Then, every married person just signs up for the exact same clubs as their partner. That way, every club has an even number of people and every pair of clubs has an even overlap, since in both cases we're counting by twos! That's excellent. The townfolk figure out that by using this strategy, they can make up to 2^(n/2) clubs! Convince yourself that this is true. As a hint, try figuring out how to count the total number of subsets of a finite set.

The despot is thoroughly vexed by this development. If n=32, the townfolk can make up to 2^16=65536 clubs! That's way too many. So the despot changes rule 2 to instead say that every club must have an odd number of members (she also changes the name of the town to oddtown, because she's a girlboss). The townsfolk get right to work maliciously complying with the new laws and try to figure out how to make as many clubs as possible that fit within the laws. How many total clubs can they make? This is a tricky one, so give it your best shot. Spoiler below!

They can only make up to n clubs! If n=32, this is a reduction from 65536 clubs to 32 clubs. The reason why is quite subtle, and my explanation will assume that you know some linear algebra, mainly dot products and linear independence.

Let's treat the clubs as n-dimensional vectors of 1's and 0's. Each component of the vector represents a person in the town, and it's a 1 if the person is in the club, and a 0 if not. For example, if the three people that live in the town are Alice, Bob, and Crust, and Alice and Bob are in club A, then the vector representing club A would be (1,1,0). We can think of what the rules mean in this context. Rule 2 means that for any club vector v, v•v (the dot product of v with itself) is odd. Rule 3 means that for any pair of distinct club vectors u and v, u•v is even.

Now, we will show that these vectors must be linearly independent, and therefore we can't have more than n of them. That's right. You heard me. Okay, so how can we do this? Well, consider the definition of linearly independence. A set of vectors {v_1, v_2, ..., v_k} is linearly independent if and only if the only solution to the equation x_1*v_1 + x_2*v_2 + ... + x_k*v_k = 0 is where x_1 = x_2 = ... = x_k = 0 (the trivial solution). I'll refer to that equation as The Equation, since it's so important. Note that * indicates scalar multiplication, and the bold 0 is the zero vector. Convince yourself that we can assume that all of the x_i are rational numbers. Then, we can multiply The Equation through by all of their denominators to get all of the x_i to be integers (eg if x_1 = 1/3, we can multiply The Equation by 3 to get x_1 = 1). Also, if there's any one common factor shared by all x_i, we can divide it out of The Equation (eg if all of the x_i are even, we can divide The Equation by two until at least one of them is odd).

We will now do a proof by contradiction. Now notice that in this setting the laws are defined in terms of dot products. So, let's do some dot products. If we dot The Equation with v_1, we get x_1*(v_1•v_1) + x_2*(v_2•v_2) + ... + x_k*(v_k•v_k) = 0. Note that the right side of the equation is now a number, not a vector. Using our rules, this becomes x_1*odd + x_2*even + ... + x_k*even = even. We can combine all of the terms that we know are even to get that x_1*odd + even = even. If x_1 were odd, you'd get odd + even = even, but that's not possible. So x_1 must be even! If you dot The Equation with v_2, you'll get that x_2 must be even! In fact, all of the x_i must be even! But remember that if a nontrivial solution to The Equation exists, we can avoid all of the x_i having a common factor. Contradiction! All of the x_i must be zero.

So then the vectors must be linearly independent. But in an n-dimensional vector space, we can't have more than n linearly independent vectors. So, we can't have more than n clubs!

This was a doozy, but it's so so pretty. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Eventown, by Corey Ann Haydu

This is an imaginative story about two sisters, who are identical twins, that move from their old town, to a new one named "Eventown." In this mysterious town, everything seems perfect, though the main character, Elody, finds a hard time fitting in, and is somehow different than everyone else. Everyone in the town must go through a welcoming process upon arrival. This process is one of telling six memories in the form of detailed stories, and letting go of them one by one. During Elody’s welcoming process, she is interrupted and three of her stories are left untold. Throughout the book, new and strange revelations are made, relationships are strengthened and weakened, and the importance of memories and individuality is realized. This book is a fun story full of creativity, family, and magic, and anyone who enjoyed books such as The Giver will love Eventown and all the feeling it brings with it.

- Isabella,12

Elodee’s Dream Cake

I’ve always felt that writing and concocting food are disciplines that mirror one another. On one hand, you pick up a pen and with one word at a time, you build a feast for the heart and mind, keeping character arcs and plot lines intact, carefully measuring out conflict and raising the stakes, until at last: resolution!

Baking a cake is not so very different. You begin with an idea—a ache for a…

You should all read Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu. It’s like Stepford Wives for middle grade readers and the way it dealt with grief made me cry like an absolute baby.
