When Lyndon suddenly wakes up in the night shouting for help with a swollen and painful knee his parents come rushing in to see what the fuss is about, but pass it off as a rugby injury and nothing to worry about!

Fortunately the Medikidz, a group of super-powered action-heroes, are on-hand to help Lyndon understand what's really going on. Pump, Chi, Skinderella, Gastro, Axon and their trusty robot Abacus each have their own special abilities to ensure that their particular brand of edutainment is engaging and always medically informative. They quickly whisk Lyndon away to Mediland (a planet that bears a striking resemblance to the human body) in order to show him exactly what has happened to his bone cells to have caused osteosarcoma.

Join Lyndon as the Medikidz take him on an adventurous tour of Mediland where he'll not only get inside the skeleton but also inside the bones themselves! As well as meeting the crazy osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and learning about how these bone cells should work together, he'll also see what happens when things go wrong. The Medikidz will also teach Lyndon all about the various treatments that can be used to beat osteosarcoma - he'll even witness a chemotherapy police raid in the process!
