Learning scientific processes can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be. A Cell's Opportunity by high school student Shahab Sharifian explores the cell process of mitosis in a way that children and young adults can understand. In this book, a young cell named George must work hard to earn his spot on the national cell soccer team. As the cell trains, struggles, and finally is ready for his tryout for the team, readers will learn how the complex process of mitosis really works. Educational and realistic, A Cell's Opportunity covers all the stages of mitosis, including interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. Science vocabulary like DNA and chromosones is also covered and the book is peppered with helpful diagrams. Written clearly and simply, A Cell's Opportunity is a clever way for readers to remember a very complex process in an easy and enjoyable way.
