About the Book

This illustrated nonfiction book for middle-grade readers is a comprehensive overview of the brain. It looks at the science behind how it works, how it directs our day-to-day lives and how much we don't know about this key organ in our bodies.

Book Synopsis

The sight of stars in the sky, the taste of chocolate, the memories of a holiday, pain after you fall...all of these experiences are possible thanks to your brain.

Did you know that the information inside your head travels faster than cars on the highway? Or that electricity moves around in there? Your brain is mysterious--there is a lot we know about it and even more that we still don't understand. With detailed illustrations and activities to challenge your brain, Your Brain is Amazing explores the inner workings of the most complex organ on Earth and how it makes you you!
