The Measles Files

By: Redford, Ruth

Before the development of a vaccine, the deadly disease of measles was common. Marnie and her trusty AI sidekick Glitch set out to learn more about the story of measles.

How is it treated and prevented? How did scientists discover its cause and develop a vaccine? As usual, Marnie goes a little above and beyond and learns EVERYTHING there is to know about measles, discovering along the way how scientists and doctors work to keep us safe. A fun, graphic novel approach, diverse characters, and humorous text tell this thrilling story of medical history in a high-interest format.

Marnie's Medical Mysteries was developed in collaboration with Nipunie Rajapakse, M.D., pediatric infectious diseases physician at the Mayo Clinic Children's Center. She completed a Master of Public Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and previously worked as a consultant with the World Health Organization.
