From New York Times bestselling author Lindsey Fitzharris, a riveting middle grade nonfiction book about medicine's most fascinating failures and dead ends.
Beheadings! Bloodletting! Bodysnatching!

Enjoy a whirlwind tour of the human body—from brain, to heart, to limbs—during which New York Times bestselling author Lindsey Fitzharris will guide you through centuries of medical mistakes, festooned with riveting facts and pitch-perfect humor. Celebrate the flukes, flops, and failures that have given science a better understanding of our bodies and ways to treat them.
This fascinating book of foul-ups is sure to delight young listeners, and inspire them to embrace their failures, too!
