The e-book, titled The Adventures of Ana and Phyl: The Carnival, follows brother and sister duo — Ana and Phyl Axis — as they work with parents, teachers and other children to plan an allergy-friendly event at their school. Through the story, readers learn about the importance of avoiding people's allergens, knowing the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, having access to two epinephrine auto-injectors, and being prepared to respond if anaphylaxis occurs. The reader follows them on an adventure to choose the most appropriate foods and supplies to make the event a success. In the end, Ana and Phyl plan a carnival that everyone can enjoy, and that even a skeptical school bully agrees is "the best carnival ever!"
