Connected introduces the mathematical concept of networks, where no node is left unconnected, emphasising the importance of community and the connection that exists between people.

Chloe is here to teach you about networks! She has a dot on her shirt called a node. So do her siblings, Jack and Willow. As family, their nodes are connected by an edge. Each of them are connected to their friends by edges, and then their friends' friends, until the network is expanded further and further. In maths, this is called a spanning tree, where no node is left unconnected!

This book sits somewhere between fiction and non-fiction with an easy-to-understand introduction to the mathematical concept of networks, as well as a reassurance to readers that they're never alone. Connected will particularly appeal to visual and spatial learners, with a sentimental quality making it enjoyable as a leisure read.
