Synopsis
School life is pretty good for John; he's got floppy hair, everyone knows his name and he's never short of girls to carry his books. The only part of school he doesn't like (and he doesn't like it a lot) is the changing room. That's because John has a curved spine a disease called scoliosis that John knows nothing about. Luckily the Medikidz, a disparate group of super-powered action-heroes with attitude, are on-hand to help John get to grips with what s going on! Pump, Chi, Skinderella, Gastro, Axon and trusty robot Abacus each have their own complementary abilities and characters to ensure that their particular brand of edu-tainment is always banter-driven and never sugar-sweet! Join John as the Medikidz take him on a whistle-stop tour of Mediland a distant planet whose geography and inhabitants bear a striking similarity to the intricacies of human anatomy and physiology. Along the way he'll meet the bone doctor, abseil down a monolithic spinal column, dance at the cervical disco and realise that even a curved spine won t slow him down forever... 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.
