Rudy is Cameron Lucey's first published story. He is a third-grade student at Star of the Sea School in Virginia Beach and is most highly regarded for his prowess as a serious mathematician. There's the true tale of Cameron when still in kindergarten and quizzed by his grandfather on divisions. Ten divided by two, four divided by two, twelve divided by three, all so easy. Then...ten divided by three. Cameron hesitated a few seconds and said, "About three and a half."

Debra Andrassy is Cameron's aunt and by far his favorite in the family. Debra is, however, known best for her artistic skills with oils and acrylics. Rudy is what happens when a mathematician and an artist collaborate.
