Gr 4–8—"Will my brain ever run out of space?" "What muscles do I use when I fake smile?" "Why do smells trigger vivid memories?" "What's so special about genes?" This fun guide answers fascinating questions about the human body. Whether kids read from cover to cover or skim, they'll find intriguing facts to keep them engaged. The book deals with many subjects: lifespan, genetics, senses, gender, emotions, and more. The information is presented in clear, bite-size pieces, ideal for students with little knowledge of the subjects. While vivid and colorful, the photographs and illustrations don't distract from the material. Amusing and creative, this title is ideal for reluctant readers. A solid pick for report-writers and browsers alike.—Kris Hickey, Columbus Metropolitan Library, OH
