"I'm fat," I hear myself saying. I look in the mirror. My face has
gone hot and red; I feel like I'm going to explode. "I'm fat." It
sizzles under my skin, puffing me up, pushing me out, making me
massive.
Weight has always been a big issue in Carmen's life. How could
it not? Her mom is obsessed with the idea that thin equals
beautiful, thin equals successful, thin equals the way to get what
you want. Carmen knows that as far as her mom is concerned, there
is only one option: be thin.
When her mother sweeps her off to live in the city, Carmen finds
that her old world is disappearing. As her life spirals out of
control Carmen begins to take charge of the only thing she can --
what she eats. If she were thin, very thin, could it all be
different?
Prepare to be infected with fun and fascinating knowledge. The Germ

pests that spread the germs! Discover history's worst epidemics and
pandemics and see how and why they happened, including the "Black
Death", polio and coronavirus. Hear the "eyewitness" accounts from
the pesky rats, flies, ticks and creepy-crawlies who spread the
most terrible viruses around the world and cause the most damage.
Watch out for terrible typhoid, beware of malicious malaria and
learn more about cruel Covid-19. Don't be too scared though. The
Germ Lab explains how bacteria and other bad beasties are beaten
through the work of genius scientists and with the development of
vaccinations. Meet Jon Snow, whose careful observations of the
slums of London led him to stop the spread of cholera , and see the
world's leading scientists in action as they create life-saving
vaccines. Written by Richard Platt and illustrated by John Kelly,

deadliest diseases examined under the microscope, and much more. So
grab your lab coat and join forces with science to tackle the war
on germs.
