Using a science comic format to engage readers of all ages, Mosquitoes SUCK! conveys essential information about mosquito biology, ecology, and disease transmission needed for community-based control efforts. Starting with a story of a dystopian mosquito-less future, Mosquitoes SUCK! travels back in time to depict the present-day work of a scientist in her lab and the curiosity of the students she works with as they learn about the history of mosquito-human interaction, science as an ever-evolving tool, and the need to balance cutting-edge preventative technologies with broader care for environmental stewardship.
"Simply brilliant! A fresh, accessible, and vibrant sketch of the not-so-simple mosquito and of our struggle with her deadly diseases. "-Timothy C. Winegard, author of the New York Times best seller The Mosquito: A Human History of Our Deadliest Predator "Centered on a youth perspective and full of characters (human and not) for youth to identify with, Mosquitoes SUCK! is valuable for curious readers of [all] ages. "-Julia McQuillan, Willa Cather Professor of Sociology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
