Informative and Compelling by Spudman (Pasadena, MD United States)  4 Stars
July 29, 2009
"Killer Superbugs the Story of Drug-Resistant Diseases by Nancy Day is a primer for middle school readers about microbial pathogens, the development of antibiotics, and the results of antibiotic misuse. Killer Superbugs is one in a series of Issues in Focus books dealing with important issues of our time. Some other titles in the series are: Cults, Plague and Pestilence, Medical Ethics, Hate Groups, Teen Smoking, and Women in Combat. This sampling of topics is an indication of the seriousness of the topics examined, Superbugs is a book that informs and serves as a catalyst for spirited discussion and contemplation. It is not a book that entertains with shocking graphics or narrative. Despite its 2001 publication date, I see this book as a viable teaching tool and an excellent choice for supplemental reading.
Colored photos and some graphics detailing how bacteria function would make this book even more appealing to its intended audience.
