Unwelcome guests -- parasites -- are everywhere, from the barnacles hitching a ride on a humpback whale's head to the tiny flies that control a bee's brain and make it literally dig its own grave. Now an expert team returns for an in-depth look at how these insidious critters do it, whether it's leaping aboard moving targets or morphing their body shapes, and what their unwitting hosts have learned to do to fight back and reclaim their space.<br>Back matter includes an index and a glossary.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Nicola Davies and Neal Layton use their signature combination of words, pictures and deadpan brilliantly.<br>--Chicago Tribune <p/>The subject is inherently fascinating for kids, and those who settle in to read will find a good deal of information.<br>--Booklist <p/>Budding scientists with an interest in the grossout factor will enjoy paging through the colorful cartoon-style drawings that accompany this in-depth look at parasites.<br>--VOYA<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Nicola Davies has written many award-winning books for children, including EXTREME ANIMALS, BIG BLUE WHALE, ONE TINY TURTLE, SURPRISING SHARKS, and BAT LOVES THE NIGHT.
