Employing a graphic novel format, these dynamic stories explain complex medical information about different forms of cancer, such as breast cancer, leukemia, brain tumors, and osteosarcoma, in a straightforward yet entertaining way.

Using their extensive combined knowledge, the Medikidz conduct a journey through Mediland, exploring complex medical issues in a language and visual style that is attractive and accessible to tweens and teens. Appropriate humor and adventure are blended with accurate facts, so young readers can understand the main character's illness and become aware of the support and tender loving care they each need.
