It’s Paulina’s birthday and everyone is excited about the classroom party she is having— cupcakes galore! Paulina then suddenly feels ill. The whole classroom disrupts into chaos — poisoned cupcakes! But no, Paulina is allergic to peanuts and she’s unfortunately eaten the wrong cake.
Luckily the Medikidz — a dedicated 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 allergy.
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?
This book is perfect for children aged nine and over, and for adults, as it is a great way to learn about the immune system and what actually happens during an allergic reaction. And it's fun!
