Before Cell Wars
by Amanda Miles
Do you and your children know how the body fights illnesses and infections, bacteria and viruses? Join Bands, a white blood cell, in this first adventure around the body in the award winning 'Cell Wars' series. An original idea that teaches children about the blood system through an entertaining fictional story.Before Cell Wars is a short three chapter children's book to introduce a new character inside the human body. This fictional story is set inside the veins and arteries and we follow the main character Bands, a newly made white blood cell, on his adventures. Find out what a white blood cell's job is and how they help fight diseases and infections. This is an adventure story for 6-12 year olds combining fiction and scientific facts about the blood system (these have been verified by a medical practitioner). 'Cell Wars - In the Beginning' follows Bands in his adventures and was recently awarded a silver medal in The Wishing Shelf Independent Book Awards and was shortlisted in the Rubery Book Award 2014.
