New Edition, new updates!
Human Body Detectives Merrin and Pearl are at it again.
Their magical ability to jump into people's bodies and explore their systems (digestive immune, circulatory, skeletal, nervous systems) combines science with their fun adventures to help kids understand how their anatomy and physiology, and how to nourish it well.
In Osteoblasts to the Rescue
, Merrin and Pearl examine their friend Lily's skeletal system on their journey to reach the broken bone in her arm. Along the way, they slide down rib bones, climb up the clavicle, see the fracture, and so much more. In the end, they not only learn about how broken bones repair themselves, but they get a firsthand lesson on the functions of the skeletal system.
