Would you dare to sit behind the wheel of a car without first learning how it worked? Siv Harestad, creator of The Mystery of the Broken BrainBridge doesn't think you should! The brain is far more complex and powerful than a car, and Harestad has dedicated over a decade of research to understanding how it works and then translating her findings into a document that even a child could understand - a story.
Join triplets Fred Fontal, Tammy Temporal and Paddy Parietal on their adventure inside the human brain that belongs to a five-year-old girl called Sunniva. Meet their parents Amygdala and Hippocampus and the BrainPeople who work and live in BrainLand. People like Otala and her Immune Force of warriors, fun-loving Pineal and serious Mr Memory.
While learning how the brain works, you will deepen your understanding of what causes and cures ailments, such as fever, ADHD and the 'old and forgetful' syndrome. After reading about BrainLand you will be equipped to use your brain wisely and to take advantage of its skills and potential. Now you can begin to unravel the mysteries of the organ that so many of us take for granted.
"Associating a person with each area of the brain and giving them the qualities and skills that correspond to that part of the brain is a brilliant idea. It makes it so much easier to remember how the brain works."
Ragnhild, Psychology Student
