How is my own body arranged? Why doesn’t the stomach digest itself? What is the immune system for? Max and Molly, the heroes of the book "Secrets of Anatomy," like all kids, ask themselves these questions. Only unlike ordinary children from the real world, who read encyclopedias and ask their parents and teachers, Max and Molly had an incredible adventure. One day, they found an old book about human anatomy in their grandmother's attic, and as soon as they opened the book, a sudden flash of bright light blinded them. And now, Max and Molly are no longer in the attic of their grandmother's house, but they're traveling inside a living human body. Carol Donner's book "Secrets of Anatomy" was previously published in Russian in the late eighties.
This fascinating thriller-adventure inside the human body instantly became a bestseller. Many moms and dads who grew up with this book searched for it for their own children - in libraries, in secondhand bookstores, from friends and acquaintances. We decided to republish it, as we, like the parents of our readers, also have to answer the endless questions of our own children about why human beings are arranged this way, and not that way. And we haven't come across a more complete, reliable, and most importantly - engaging! - answer to the question of how the human body is structured.
For older school-aged children.
