I read this book with my daughter for a project on mosquitoes. It is an interesting and attention grabbing way to learn about mosquitoes and their relevance in infectious disease and public health. The author cleverly presents the information by focusing on real doctors and their patients.

It was okay. Didn't provide much info on how to stay protected from mosquitoes.
