Gr 5–8—Getting sick can be a scary experience, so these titles are here to demystify detection methods for serious issues in a visual, easy to understand way. The procedures and tests used in discovering illnesses are broken down in jargon-free language that reveals what each one is and what they are used for. Photographs of doctors, patients, equipment, and medical material are shown to provide transparency around each process. Information boxes are peppered throughout to pique interest around topics as well as to give a break in the text for readers. VERDICT Pulling back the curtain on medical terms and tests that can be scary, these titles will fit right into classrooms covering biology and physical health.
