We all make memories, and memories make us who we are. Remember This explores the science of memory, how and why we remember what we do and what happens when we start forgetting. From working memory to flashbulb memory, young readers are introduced to the field of neuroscience. It also looks at the role memory plays in our daily lives and collective history, and how major global events get imprinted in our minds.

How come you can't forget the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? (Because it's set to music.) Why don't elephants ever forget? (They've got a great sense of smell.) Discover more tips and tricks to train your brain to remember. Young or old, let's start making memories.

      Starred review from February 1, 2024

      Gr 4-7-Polak's latest features captivating facts and real-world examples about the science and function of memory. The writing is fluid and easy to read, perfect for the middle school set. Memory is something we use daily; yet, how many of us stop to think about the inner workings of what our brain remembers and how it happens? Goulet's plentiful graphics will keep readers engaged; colorful illustrations serve as chapter headings and visually enhance the text, as do photographs, diagrams, sidebars, and lists. The table of contents makes it easy to find information on topics from "Memory Superheroes," and "Alzheimer's," to "History and Collective Memory." Polak's text explores memory from numerous angles and adapts its tone accordingly, from humorous to respectful and solemn when needed. The real-life examples are fascinating, and readers will come away with in-depth knowledge on the mind. Back matter includes a glossary and a list of resources. VERDICT A must-have title for libraries.-April Crowder
