Mr. Online - The Screen-Obsessed Friend - Hardcover

by Jamie McKeen (Author), Luka Jovanovic (Illustrator)

Mr Online - The Screen-Obsessed Friend is a colourful, funny story about a friend who hasn't yet discovered how good it feels to be in the moment.

While his friends play and explore, he scrolls, swipes and watches - until he realises the fun he's missing is right in front of him.

This is the first book in the Mr Mandem - Real Talk for Little People series: modern picture books that make kids laugh while sparking real conversations about life. Perfect for ages 4-8, the series blends humour with honesty, helping children navigate challenges like screens, friendship, and resilience.

Parents and teachers love the Real Talk Prompts at the back - short, open-ended questions that open up big discussions about feelings, choices, and real-world connections.

With vibrant illustrations by Luka Jovanovic and a story by Jamie McKeen, Mr Online is an uplifting reminder that sometimes the best adventures happen when we look up.

A book to read, laugh at, and talk about - together.
