Young Readers Journey to Places Unknown and Unseen in the New Juvenile Fiction Micropolis

Camarillo, CA, August 21, 2014 (Newswire.com) - It’s a big, big world – in even the tiniest of places. Johnny Redblood and his crew work diligently to keep young Sarah healthy and happy in the inner-workings children’s adventure, Micropolis: The Adventure of Johnny Redblood, published by Outskirts Press.

As a red blood cell, Johnny Redblood has a very important job. He works for the Oxygen Delivery Service, bringing the valuable resource to the residents of the city. Johnny and his best friend Ashley are two of the fun-loving inhabitants of Micropolis – a thriving city located within a cheerful 10-year-old girl named Sarah. Along with Redblood, Emily Enzyme, Heather Heart and germ-fighter General White, Micropolis is filled with a variety of single-celled creatures that live and work together and play a vital role in what Sarah does and how she feels. But his daily routine abruptly changes one day when Sarah steps on a spiky sea urchin and Tyrus the Virus enters the lower valley. As the virus begins to wreak its havoc, Johnny and his friends must find a way to stop Tyrus and save their beloved city!

Micropolis offers young readers a riveting, fun-filled and adventurous primer on the living world that is the human body. The deftly crafted characters act out how external events can affect various parts of the body, and how all of these parts work together to create one whole, healthy body.
