As the newest release in the Stickmen’s Guides to Your Awesome Body series this title is more than serviceable.  Released in the UK last year there is much information contained that is sure to win approval of the USA intermediate and young middle school American student.   The brain is studied and illustrated using the five senses and sections of the brain.  Information is presented in short segments which provide highlights of the functions of the brain.  Human anatomy is rarely this much fun, certainly the colorful graphic illustrations will draw in 8- 12 year old students interested in  science.

Intermediate schools will want this book among their science collection.  Public librarians may be interested but are apt to find the price steep for their budget.  Future scientist and medical personal will want this on their personal shelves at home.
