Description or summary of the book: Survive! Inside the Human Body, Volume 1 begins an epic journey through the human body with a look at the digestive system. This lively, full-color science comic explores Phoebe's insides after she accidentally swallows a microscopic ship. The only problem? Dr. Brain (the ship's eccentric inventor) and Phoebe's friend Geo are on board! Geo and Dr. Brain must avoid danger at every turn-like hazardous stomach acid and feeding parasites. (Ew!) Will they escape? You've got a front-row seat as they travel through Phoebe's esophagus, stomach, and intestines. Have you ever wondered...-How antacids work?-How our bodies break down food and absorb nutrients?-Why we have sphincters?-How the stomach protects itself from its own acid?-How doctors cure patients who have parasites living in their digestive systems?-Why we have trillions of friendly microbes living inside of us? For ages 8+ Translated by Army Chung
