Review :
"Students will immediately be drawn to these eye-catching photographs as well as to the illustrations of some of the newest medical techniques and procedures. These books will attract not only those students studying the human body, but also those students who may be interested in a career in medicine." --Library Media Connection "These narratives read like information from the Discovery Health channel, for kids: part fascinating science, part human interest story, and part 'Eew, gross!'" --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple "The issues covered in the titles Leukemia, Lost Sight, and Faulty Hearts can be frightening as well as life-threatening, but the author of this series, a respected science writer, has a no-nonsense approach to the facts and risks. . . . This series fills the need for up-to-date books on medical topics using vocabulary that a young teenager can understand." --VOYA "With the high technical quality of its illustrations and with the abundant details it presents, this book will be an asset to any library collection." --Science Books & Films
