Beast Academy Books are the comic-style print companions to the Beast Academy math program, aimed at roughly grades 2–5 and written by the Art of Problem Solving team. Each guide reads like a graphic novel in which monster students tackle challenging math ideas, while matching practice books offer carefully sequenced problems and puzzles. Parents love that the books invite kids to linger on big ideas—like number theory and geometry—rather than rushing through a checklist of standards, making them especially appealing to advanced or puzzle-loving learners. They can be intense for kids who prefer straightforward drills, but as reusable resources that can serve multiple children, the books offer outstanding depth for the cost.
