About This Book

The crack of a bone feels sharp and sudden, like a loud snap inside your arm. You might see an x-ray that looks like a spooky black and white puzzle, showing exactly where the break is. But with a special cast wrapped tight, your bones start to heal, strong and steady, ready to move again.
