Riassunto

It s Paulina's birthday and everyone is excited about the classroom party she is having cupcakes galore! Paulina suddenly feels ill. The whole classroom disrupts into chaos POISONED CUPCAKES! But no, Paulina is allergic to peanuts and she's eaten the wrong cake. Luckily the Medikidz a disparate group of superheroes jump into action and whisk Paulina and her friend away before her classmates can say call poison control! Pump, Skinderella, Chi, Gastro, Axon, and the trusty brain-on-legs, Abacus, are specialist tour guides of the human body and can tell Paulina all about her allergies. Join Paulina on her journey around Mediland (a planet shaped just like the human body) as she discovers the facts behind her Food Allergy. Along the way they will encounter the confused immune system army, gruesome infections, and the Medikidz' arch nemesis, Anna Phylaxis. Will the Medikidz be able to avoid Anna's attacks and deliver Paulina back to earth in time to finish off her party? The Medikidz range of graphic novels explains childhood illness in a way that is imaginative, engaging and easy to understand. Developed by a team of doctors, Medikidz does not try to 'sugarcoat' serious problems. Rather, the information provided empowers children with the knowledge they need to take ownership of their disease, providing them with skills for self-management, while taking away their fear of the unknown.
