"For hundreds of years people have been trying to figure out how the human body works and how to keep it well. Because they had to rely on observations, questioning, and simple tests, sometimes they got it wrong. As methods and equipment improved, scientists discovered new facts and proved old ideas to be false. Each myth is discussed on a two-page spread; photographs and drawings illustrate the text. The writing is succinct and will keep readers interested. Captions and colorful sidebars provide additional information; highlighted words are defined in bubbles at the bottom of the page. There are free educational resources for teachers and librarians. This series is very entertaining while teaching science; it will appeal to all types of readers."—School Library Connection
