Superflex Takes On Brain Eater and the Team of Unthinkables introduces readers to the Unthinkable (or UnthinkaBot) Brain Eater who uses attention-grabbing powers to distract Social Town citizens’ brains from focusing. Brain Eater can pull our attention away from what we are supposed to be doing, what others are talking about, or using our brains to focus on things at school or home. In this storybook, Aiden is a boy who sees his classmates having trouble focusing on getting ready for school and listening to learn in class. Aiden transforms himself into Superflex Aiden and takes readers on a journey to the Superflex Academy to learn how to create and use tools like the Distracter Shield and fidgets.

This award-winning storybook is part of our Social Detective & Superflex Series, which is designed to help children learn about their own and others’ thoughts and behaviors and practice strategies for self-awareness and self-regulation across a variety of situations. As kids learn strategies to manage their Unthinkables (or UnthinkaBots), they strengthen their flexible thinking and are better able to self-regulate in challenging times.
