Meet Marvin, a lovable monster with a twelve-stringed baby fang guitar, a rambunctious case of ADHD, emotions that sometimes overwhelm him (and others), and a diary to record it all. While Marvin got it together in Marvin's Monster Diary: ADHD Attacks, his lab partner Lyssa's emotional roller coaster is a bit out of control. Can he help her—and win the Science Scare-Fair—before she explodes?

In the same humorous spirit of Diary of a Wimpy Kid comes Marvin's Monster Diary: ADHD Emotion Explosion Using the "monstercam" and "ST4" techniques developed by Dr. Raun Melmed of the Melmed Center in Arizona, Marvin's Monster Diary: ADHD Emotion Explosion teaches kids how to be mindful, observe their surroundings, and take time to think about their actions. Marvin's hilarious doodles and diary entries chronicle his delightful adventures, misadventures, and eventual triumph in a funny, relatable way. It's the series on ADHD that kids will actually want to read! 

Marvin's Monster Diary: ADHD Emotion Explosion also includes a resource section to help parents and teachers implement Dr. Melmed's methods, plus ST4 badge reminders that kids can remove, color, and place around the house.

      Gr 2-5-Continuing the theme of mental and emotional health in a fun, accessible way for young readers, ADHD Emotion Explosion centers on Marvin and Lyssa, two classmates working together on a science "Scare Fair" project. Marvin has great ideas-but his great ideas also have great ideas, which leads to impromptu games of garbageball and ponderings of brain mucus instead of working on their rocket project. When Marvin wrecks their rocket in a fit of recklessness, Lyssa can't control her anger and explodes. Marvin, familiar with the techniques of ST4 (Stop: Take Time To Think), shares the procedures with Lyssa, and introduces another technique for focusing attention: making a "monstercam" rectangle with his hands to focus on the object at present. Can Marvin and Lyssa pull it together and salvage their science project in time for the Scare Fair? VERDICT A compelling addition to a neglected niche in children's literature, Monster Diaries addresses difficult emotional health topics with common sense approaches.-Amanda C. Buschmann, Carroll Elementary School, Houston
