CYBILS AWARDS NOMINEE BEING A DOCTOR ISN'T EASY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE FOURTEEN YEARS OLD. Connor became a doctor just two days ago--along with all of his friends. They are child prodigies who were hand-selected at just three years old to undergo intensive medical training as part of a controversial experiment called Kid Docs. KID DOCS tells the story of fourteen-year-old Connor Hansen's first days as an emergency room doctor. Connor experiences his first pangs of love (toward fifteen-year-old obstetrician, Cassie), deals with his explosive older brother (a sixteen-year-old heart surgeon), and tries to figure out why his friendship with fourteen-year-old fellow ER doctor Hannah has suddenly changed. At the same time, Connor learns to save lives and discovers that some lives cannot be saved. KID DOCS is a coming-of-age novel perfect for ages eleven and up. Readers slip behind-the-scenes into a world that few people ever get to experience first-hand. It's a must-read for future doctors and anyone who has ever wondered what it's like to be a doctor. The book will appeal to similar audiences as ENDER'S GAME (by Orson Scott Card) and THE GIVER (by Lois Lowry) and to fans of the television shows GREY'S ANATOMY, ER, and DOOGIE HOWSER, M.D.
