We are hearing more and more about our gut and the importance of what goes on in there, so a book that explains this ecosystem in a clever and entertaining way is very welcome. Follow Your Gut uses a graphic-novel format to take the reader on a sophisticated ‘Magic School Bus’ journey. The reader is pulled along into the microscopic depths of the body, meeting the various bacteria characters who lurk there. A well-designed appendix section at the end provides further details and clear answers to questions.
Created by visual artists, scientists and writers as a Scale Free Network project, Follow Your Gut is an excellent example of how a collaborative approach can result in something that is more accessible, memorable and enjoyable than a more traditional textbook.
It’s a great choice for young people who have an interest in biology, and I can see it being a useful tool in high school classrooms. We have reviewed this book in our YA space, yet it has been published as a general nonfiction title and would be at home in both our science and health sections too. For ages 14+
