Reviews

School Library Journal
“In this installment of the “Inquire & Investigate” series, Mooney provides a succinct overview of the human genome. The introduction and the six brief chapters open with a clever cartoon. . . The language is accessible for middle and high school readers. Side notes, callouts, key questions, and world connections highlight noteworthy subjects throughout the text. There are activities and experiments related to genetics. Casteel uses a variety of illustration styles, including photographs and computer-generated images. Charts, graphs, and time lines enhance the reader’s understanding of the material. VERDICT A useful addition to middle and high school collections that rely on print materials for report writing."

“A completely engaging narrative connecting cells, tissues, organs, and body systems to diverse fields beyond biology ranging from physics to energy transfer. The text is a unique combination of comic inserts, textual information, factual sidebars, vocab and inquiry labs, as well as QR codes linking the reader immediately to additional research information, games, and videos.”
