Really, it’s probably only 2.5 stars. But I read it because my 8 year old wants to read it and I thought I should read first to make sure it’s not above her reading level. It’s not. Besides, Dr. Jamison says multiple times that “if you don’t know what that is look it up!” However, the editing mishaps (there are MANY punctuation, wording, and grammatical mistakes) and use of unnatural “big” words may make some things difficult for kids. I strongly suggest having a dictionary and medical dictionary nearby.
