Nanoswarm - Invasion from Inner Space Mary Ann Pendino

Life in the year 2030 was almost perfect. War, crime, hunger and pollution were history. Just as scientists were on the verge of curing disease, people all over the world started getting sick, and no one knew why. Nanoswarm is based on an action-packed video game that takes tweens on a journey of self-discovery to save a friend - and themselves. Obesity has become one of the leading causes of death, worldwide. The Nanoswarm book and video game are designed as unique approaches to promoting healthy diet and exercise behavior. The project was funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). See the video trailer at: www.archimage.com/nanoswarm.cfm
