Two sisters selling cookies door-to-door split up to double their sales. The older sister is kidnapped by an evil brain and a zombie and to keep the evil brain from stealing her brain, she asks him to explain how the brain works. But the fictional story is just a set-up for this otherwise non-fiction graphic novel explaining how the brain works and covering all kinds of topics from the evolution of the brain, to defining cells and neurons, to senses, to the parts of the brain and nervous system, to different types of intelligence. It includes an extensive glossary and would have been even better with the addition of chapter headings or an index.
