Meet Dexter Procter: the world’s youngest doctor-in-training with a stubborn curiosity, a big heart, and a knack for turning tricky medical mysteries into laugh-out-loud adventures. This two-book collection follows Dexter through comic misadventures at school, the hospital, and at home, as he navigates friendship, mischief, and a charge to help others. In Dexter Procter the 10-Year-Old Doctor, Dexter juggles a bustling family life, a loyal duo of friends (Rupi and Otto), and a rival in Dr Drake, all while snagging tiny wins that prove even the smallest toolkit can make the biggest difference.
