* "A pathologically good time." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Follow the scientists studying animals and the germs that infect them in this full-color nonfiction book packed with comic-style art.
When a super sickness lands on the land, when a parasite becomes more than a pest, when an infection ignites an epidemic, what’s a body to do? Your body is an animal body, so why not ask the animals?
Meet scientists around the world who are studying animals and the germs that attack them. From fungus-ridden frogs with fevers to bacteria-resistant buzzards and everything in-between, animals have A LOT to teach us about infections. But—reader beware!!—the story of germs is filled with twists and turns.
In this fascinating, highly visual nonfiction book packed with colorful, comic-style art, you'll discover not only the cool ways that animal bodies (and our bodies) fight back against pesky pathogens, but also the amazing and surprising ways we can learn to work together with germs.
Sick! The Twists and Turns Behind Animal Germs is written by Heather L. Montgomery with graphic novel-style art from Lindsey Leigh.
Heather L. Montgomery has taught for over 20 years (both inside and outside the classroom) as well as directed a school-based environmental center.
