In this volume, a young girl named Fahama needs to learn about the brain as fast as possible in order to escape from the clutches of a mad scientist and his zombie assistant! How did the brain evolve? How do we remember things? What makes you, YOU? In THE Brain, get an inside look at the most advanced operating system in the world . . . if you have the nerve!

Industry Reviews

Praise for the Science Comics series:

This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words. --New York Times

Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome! --Popular Science

Praise for Science Comics: The Brain:

Graudins' cartoons help break down the academic concepts without being patronizing and, happily, while making learning fun. A particularly well-executed and thought-provoking installment in this reliable nonfiction series. --Booklist, starred review
