Speaking a second language slows down aging, fends off diseases like Alzheimer's and you can understand and speak to more people, so why not?

Book Highlight

Celebrate scientific discovery, and the human body through the eyes of Fatima, a young inventor and Z82, her shrinking zorb ball. Her plan is to get shrunk and go up someone’s mouth as she wants to find out what our body does to digest the food we like to eat.

"Her book is like words being spun as gold. Not only is Ms. Goldowsky a skilled writer but she has a story to tell. While the book is both riveting and touching and pulls at the heartstrings, it is never maudlin." —Pat Gallant Weich, writer.
