With clearly defined facts, irreverent humor, and a comics format, the titles in the Superheroes on a Medical Mission series offer accessible, entertaining introductions to health topics from sleep issues to HIV. Every volume stars a multicultural Super Friends like team of crusaders, each of whom introduces a different area of anatomy. Formatted in comic-style panels, the digitally generated images and dialogue-bubble text take a young person through a fantasy adventure, in which the team leads an interior body tour to learn about a particular health topic, including causes, treatments, and cures. Each title uses the format's possibilities for wordless communication to great effect. In Medikidz Explain Sleep Apnea, a clever series of images shows the characters tumbling down a throat in the wake of an upper-airway collapse. A glossary and resource lists conclude these informative introductions to high-interest health topics that kids may well read for fun, too.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that about 12 to 18 million people have sleep disorders, and that about 3 percent of children and teens have them. People with sleep apnea have difficulty breathing during slumber because they have shallow breathing or stop breathing for ten to twenty seconds. This can occur twenty to thirty times each hour. The Medikidz are on the case; these delightful superheroes explore what sleep apnea is and what it does to a persons healthall in eye-catching graphic novel format.
