While they aren't beneficial to the host, understanding where parasites come from and how they infect the body is important for young readers. Through the vivid photographs complemented by comments from illustrated teaching companions, young readers get an introduction to not just where these nasty creatures come from, but how readers can avoid infection. Young scientists will read along with the fun illustrated characters who encourage a better understanding of what a parasite is.

From New York Times bestselling author Mira Grant comes a vision of a decade in the future, where humanity thrives in the absence of sickness and disease. We owe our good health to a humble parasite — a genetically engineered tapeworm developed by the pioneering SymboGen Corporation. When implanted, the Intestinal Bodyguard worm protects us from illness, boosts our immune system — even secretes designer drugs. It's been successful beyond the scientists' wildest dreams. Now, years on, almost every human being has a SymboGen tapeworm living within them. But these parasites are getting restless. They want their own lives . . . and will do anything to get them. "A riveting near-future medical thriller that reads like the genetically-engineered love child of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton." —John Joseph Adams More from Mira Grant: Parasitology Parasite Symbiont Chimera Newsflesh Feed Deadline Blackout Feedback Rise

Heard about the fish that clean shark teeth? Or the frog that lives with a tarantula? Welcome to the weird world of symbiosis—where animals form incredible relationships. Macken Murphy, host of the popular animal podcast Species, introduces his favourite symbiotic relationships in his first kids’ nonfiction book, Animal Sidekicks. Along the way he explains the cool science behind the baffling behaviour of some animals—from friendly alliances to pesky parasites.

This absorbing book details how these animals survive without this important organ and other weird facts about the invertebrate world. Even more fascinating than the freaky facts are the eye-catching images that illustrate each crucial concept. Sidebars and graphic organizers present more valuable information.

It is May 1928 in Renton, Washington, when Mary Janette Miller enters the world. Three years later, she is surrounded by friends and her siblings while building magical sandcastle villages and pretending she is a pirate sailing the seas.
