In this illuminating book, Josh Bonkowsky, a pediatric neurologist, describes how he treats the intriguing children he meets in his Utah clinic. They have mysterious and rare neurological illnesses, which can cause devasting seizures, neurodegeneration, or even symptoms like "dancing eyes, dancing feet" (the signature symptoms of Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome). This book tells the story of those children, and their families' struggles, losses, and triumphs. It's also an inspiring look at the revolution in pediatric neurology and personalized medicine, and how it is transforming the lives of children with these disorders. The profound changes in diagnosis and treatment in pediatric neurology, especially in the past five years, offers real hope to young children with life-destroying neurological diseases. It shows what happens when individuals and society choose to lead towards good.
