Algebra from Art of Problem Solving series

[Pam in MA]

I'm thinking of doing an extra semester or so of Algebra once we finish Foerster's. My dd is doing fine with Foerster's, but I sense she could, developmentally, use another year of Algebra. I'm thinking of working through the Algebra book from the Art of Problem Solving series. I have the AoPS book, which looks great, so I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with the Algebra book.

:lurk5: I'd like to know, too. My dd finished Algebra I this year as a 7th grader, but I would like to do a little review work during the year. I would like something sort of fun. Maybe this or Life of Fred?

I haven't ordered the book yet, but their thing is presenting math topics from a different angle than the traditional textbook approach. Their materials are geared toward kids entering math competitions. Not a lot of people seem to know much about it, which is why I'm asking!
