Thirteen-year-old, second-string quarterback Ian McGowan has
serious issues with his life. Everything lately seems like a
catastrophe. In fact, things are so bad that he's certain the world
is ending.
Ian is sure he is all alone in tackling heavy issues: failing
algebra tests, trying to understand girls, relating to his parents,
comprehending current world events, and unwittingly involving
himself in a life-threatening situation. The problem is that nobody
else seems to notice anything is wrong! Ian has no idea what to do
about any of it-and he's sure that no one will understand
anyway-except maybe his best friend who isn't even talking to him
at the moment.
Ian soon realizes that people and situations aren't always what
they appear to be. A new friend may turn out to be someone you've
known all along-without ever really knowing them at all.
Making big science topics just the right size for little readers as
we explore the human body. Did you know that your body is
two-thirds water? Or that it takes two days for food to go right
through your body? The human body is pretty amazing, and we'd like
to tell you why... So sit back, and let expert scientist and
CBeebies writer Emily Dodd tell you all about the human body. With
bite-sized text, facts to make you say 'WOW', and
easy-to-understand explanations, big science topics are now just
the right size for readers 4 years plus. Brilliantly illustrated by
Chorkung, this is the perfect little book for readers who are just
discovering all the AMAZING STUFF in the world around them.
