Editorial Reviews

11/01/2017
Gr 7 Up—Diving into some of the more intriguing aspects of the human body, this series provides a close-up look at tits inner workings, including the circulatory, digestive, and neurological systems. The second-person point of view lends an engaging, almost casual tone but shares solid information on the fun, the gross, and the important aspects of each topic. Microbes, for example, goes into detail about gut health and the crucial roles that the billions of microbes play in the human body. Diagrams, photographs, and helpful back matter round out this solid science series. VERDICT A great choice for nonfiction collections.
