What defeats foot-eating fungi? How does the brain tell you when you're hungry? Where's there an acid bath in your body?

Meet the Brainwaves, pint-sized pals who'll take you on a rollicking, rip-roaring romp around the human body. Look out for them along the way as you see a fight against an invasion of horrible toxic bacteria, dodge squirting digestive juices, and take a white-knuckle ride on red rapids of gushing blood.

Fantastic fold-out pages reveal exactly what's happening in your insides, exploring all the important bits, and how they work.

It's a quirky quest of discovery!
