Opis

CYBILS AWARDS NOMINEE BEING A DOCTOR ISN'T EASY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE FOURTEEN YEARS OLD. Connor became a doctor just two days ago--along with all of his friends. They are child prodigies who were hand-selected at just three years old to undergo intensive medical training as part of a controversial experiment called Kid Docs. KID DOCS tells the story of fourteen-year-old Connor Hansen's first days as an emergency room doctor. Connor experiences his first pangs of love (toward fifteen-year-old obstetrician, Cassie), deals with his explosive older brother (a sixteen-year-old heart surgeon), and tries to figure out why his friendship with fourteen-year-old fellow ER doctor Hannah has suddenly changed. At the same time, Connor learns to save lives and discovers that some lives cannot be saved. KID DOCS is a coming-of-age novel perfect for ages eleven and up. Readers slip behind the scenes into a world that few people ever get to experience first-hand, the life of a physician in training. It is a must-read for future doctors, medical students, interns, residents, and anyone who has ever wondered what it's like to go to medical school. The book will appeal to similar audiences as ENDER'S GAME and THE GIVER and to fans of the television shows GREY'S ANATOMY, ER, and DOOGIE HOWSER, M.D. Author Jenny Lynne drew on her personal experiences when writing KID DOCS: she was once a kid, and she is now a doctor Praise for KID DOCS: "Loved every little bit of it Couldn't stop reading " -- Adam, Goodreads "The hospital setting was rich and accurate, with enough medical details to pique the curiosity of kids who might be so inclined, or to feed the fascination of adults who like to watch medical shows. I always appreciate dramatic suspense in a novel, and this one had it. Plenty of plot points kept me reading: finding out how the kid docs will react to the pressure, the fate of the patients who come into the hospital, and even the fate of one of their own." -- Jennifer Donovan, 5 Minutes for Books KID DOCS is available in Kindle ebook and in paperback.
