Maximus Minimus: Volume I (Illustrated Edition)

By Dr. Dilyana O. Dineva-Zheleva

It's a magical world inside our bodies. What if one day you woke up smaller than a speck of dust, only to find yourself scrambling through the windy tunnels of someone's lungs, studying them firsthand while hunting for a way out? That's what happens to Max, a first-grader overwhelmed by piles of homework and bullying classmates at school. With his newfound talent for shrinking himself, he can roam through blood vessels and the roaring chambers of the heart, hold live bacteria in his hands, and even befriend the formidable warrior cells of the immune system. Guided on his journeys by the mysterious and scholarly Limbic System-a phantom voice echoing from the void-he discovers new confidence and learns to rely on his own abilities to tackle his school and family problems. Scale down to the size of a blood cell and dive into a laugh-out-loud, STEM-powered quest through human anatomy.
