Review

"What's Up With John?' tells the story of John who has scoliosis of his spine. The Medikidz zoom in and take him to Mediland and onto the top of a huge skeleton - or to be precise the top of the vertebral column - where he is shown everything to do with his scoliosis and what can be done, including surgery if necessary.

This one is pretty close to my heart because I have a friend who has a severe scoliosis but refused surgery - it didn't stop her do anything and yes she went onto to have 2 strapping sons and a daughter!

I love the humour in these stories and the relationship within the Medikidz themselves and this makes for a fun telling of the story.

John goes from being a victim to the coolest guy ever! Good graphics and easy to read balloons. Again I more than highly recommend this book for kids and adults.
