Talk about a change of plans! Ms. Frizzle and her class are on the Magic School Bus headed for a museum. They have been studying how the body turns food into energy, and now they are going to see an exhibit on the human body. Things seem fine until they stop for lunch. A strange mishap causes the bus to shrink and then be swallowed! Ms. Frizzle's class is suddenly inside a real human body!
"I thought we were going to a museum," says one of the kids. "There's been a slight change of plans..." announces the Friz. "We're being digested instead."

Yikes! Through the stomach and intestines, into the blood stream, the class travels to the heart, the lungs, the brain. How will they ever get out?

Fasten your seat belts! Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen have come up with another incredible trip on the Magic School Bus.
