The Rabies Files

By Ruth Redford

Marnie has never met a science story she didn't like, and the story of rabies is no exception. When she gets an assignment to learn more about rabies for class, she goes all in with her trusty AI sidekick Glitch. How did scientists discover the cause of rabies and how to treat it? Marnie follows the tracks of scientists and doctors who help protect people from rabies and other diseases, learning along the way how science keeps us safe.

A fun graphic 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.
