A Children’s Book Series About Cancer, Diagnosis, Treatment and How Medicines Are Developed
From understanding cancer to developing new medicines, every story in Ella and the Medicine Mystery explores a different part of cancer research and treatment.
Ella learns how scientific discoveries can lead to new medicines, how different treatments work, and what researchers are learning about cancer itself. She explores why cancers can differ from one another, how they develop and affect the body, and why the symptoms they cause and the treatments used may be different.
One story follows the journey from scientific discovery to medicine. Another explores how cancer can hide from the immune system and how immunotherapy can help the immune system fight back. Future stories will take Ella into different types of cancer, their biology, the symptoms they can cause, existing treatments, and new approaches scientists are developing.
Created for curious readers ages 9 to 12, Ella and the Medicine Mystery brings the world of cancer research and medicine to life through engaging stories built around questions, clues, evidence, and discovery.
