Biology students and those of the general public who read the book may gain an advanced level of knowledge about leukemia and may even find their curiosity aroused regarding medical research and clinical practice as a career. The book will inspire children who have leukemia and educate parents concerning signs to look for in doubtful cases. Issues of gender and minorities are dealt with in a balanced manner. With the high technical quality of its illustrations and with the abundant details it presents, this book will be an asset to any library collection." --Science Books & Films
