Polly wondered why her scientist dad gave her such a huge challenge during summer vacation. He made for her a ring with five different jewels. When she touched the ruby, she shrunk to the size of a red ant. That was frightening enough, but it was only the start of an adventure in the realms of both bugs and ideas. With the ring's magic Polly could go to Daddy's summer school - a black box he could hold in one hand. Inside the little box Polly and her friends found that ideas have consequences. Each of the seven teachers had a different idea about reality. Polly's mission was to find which teacher, if any, taught the truth.Polly's story is a worldview primer for smart pre-teens and imaginative adults.
