About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking complex questions about why they feel certain emotions, how they remember things, or what is actually happening inside their head. It is a perfect tool for demystifying the brain and nervous system through an accessible, high-energy format. The story follows Fahama, a young girl captured by a mad scientist, who must learn about brain anatomy and function to escape. It balances heavy scientific concepts like neurons, the endocrine system, and the evolution of the brain with humor and a fast-paced plot. Parents will appreciate how it turns a difficult subject into an adventurous discovery of self-identity and mental resilience. It is highly appropriate for the middle-grade reader who enjoys science but prefers a narrative over a textbook.
