Riassunto

Lina was playing checkers with Sam, her best friend, when all of a sudden Lina fell to the floor and started to shake all over.WHAT JUST HAPPENED?She might have had a seizure. Now it’s up to the Brain Detectives—Lina and Sam—to join with a team of doctors, nurses, technicians and parents to find out. But first, Lina has to have an EEG...whatever that is.About 1% of all Americans are living with some form of epilepsy. One in ten Americans will have at least one seizure in their lifetime, but not everyone who has a seizure will be diagnosed with epilepsy.One of the most effective tools for diagnosing epilepsy is an EEG, which is short for electroencephalogram. An EEG helps doctors discover unusual or abnormal electrical activity in the brain.Seizures can be as upsetting for children as for adults, or maybe more so. Lina’s EEG Adventure takes the reader through Lina’s discovery and acceptance of her diagnosis, and the importance of friends and family—”framily”—each step of the way.
