Mr Online - The Screen-Obsessed Friend is the first book in the Mr Mandem - Real Talk for Little People series: modern picture books that blend humour, colour, and fun with life lessons kids can actually use.
Being a kid today isn't simple. Screens are everywhere, friendships start young, and resilience isn't always easy to teach. That's where Mr Mandem comes in - a cast of bold, memorable characters who make children laugh while helping them think about the world around them.
In Mr Online, we meet a friend who just can't put his device down. While his friends play, talk, and explore, he's glued to his screen - missing out on the moments that matter. But when he finally looks up, he discovers something important: the best memories aren't made online - they're made when you join in.
With bright illustrations by Luka Jovanovic and a warm, relatable story by Jamie McKeen, this book is perfect for children aged 4-8 - whether as a bedtime read, a classroom conversation starter, or a thoughtful gift for families.
Each story in the Mr Mandem series includes Real Talk Prompts at the back - short, open-ended questions designed to spark conversations about resilience, honesty, respect, and real-world connection. Simple enough for parents to use at bedtime, and a powerful tool for teachers to bring into the classroom.
This is more than a story - it's a tool for raising thoughtful, confident kids who know how to be real.
