I would recommend this book because it was super fascinating. My favourite fact was that in our ears, there are tiny little stones called otoliths that help with balance. The part I didn't like was doctors learning to sew patients up using different methods. Yuk!

This book is a non-fiction but it’s very interesting! This book is filled with funny, interesting and a bit ugly to look at facts and pictures! I really like the series of this non-fiction books! Well, maybe because I have only read three more non-fiction books before and they were boring I think everyone shoul read this book that are 6+ because it has so much interesting and cool facts!
