"Peanut allergies are the most common food allergy to cause anaphylaxis in children. Right now, there is a blood test and a skin prick test to confirm a peanut allergy, but no cure, though some children grow out of it. The only way to stop a serious reaction from occurring is to stay away from peanuts altogether. Readers learn how serious peanut allergies may be as well as the symptoms one might have. Full-color photographs highlight how food packaging labels look and the possibility of peanuts on ingredients lists. The age-appropriate explanations and information may help readers understand a friend's struggle better, or even save a life!"--
