About the Book

Detective agencies come in many shapes and forms, but never before has there been a one-man social detective agency! Johnny Multony, himself transformed from a social misfit to a socially savvy kid, starts the first-ever social detective agency and is hired on by other students in his school for help with common interpersonal dilemmas such as cliques, dealing with disappointments, bullying, personal space, friends, body language, and much more. With titles such as Too Close for Comfort: The Case of Back-Away Bobby, Accidentally Funny: The Case of the Incidental Straightman, Summer’s Bummer: The Case of the Huffy Girlfriends, Drowning in the Details: The Case of Monologuing Mona, etc., cleverly developed chapters allow readers to use their own social detective skills to solve the mysteries. Each chapter ends with a section called Cracking the Case, in which Johnny solves the social mystery and offers practical solutions to the social dilemmas. Foremost a detective/mystery story for readers ages eight and older, the book delivers insights, tools, and solutions in an engaging storyline that kids can relate to. Recommended not just for individual kids needing social skills tools, but on a broader basis for all kids wanting to read something interesting and fun.

Review :
"Jeff Jessum has made an important breakthrough in the teaching of social skills. His creative and imaginative stories incorporating the best practices in social problem solving are compelling, interesting and kid-friendly. The concept of social skills requiring detective work will help children at risk for social issues actively apply the principles for effective social problem solving. This book provides an important new tool for parents, educators and therapists in providing sound practice to practical situations." - Robert Colegrove, Ed.D., psychologist working with children and families; affiliated with Children's Hospital Lo Angeles "Diary of a Social Detective is a wonderful and unique book. It will make a great addition to any social skills program striving to teach social cognition to youth on the autism spectrum. In particular, the social mysteries presented in the book, and the systematic process provided to solve them, how great promise in our efforts to effectively teach perspective taking, social problem solving and knowledge of social rules. I am looking forward to adding it to our intervention tool chest at the Social Skills Research Center." Scott Bellini, Ph.D., HSPP, director, Social Skills Research Center, research and clinical director, Indiana Resource Center for Autism; author of award-winning Building Social Relationships "Engaging! Charming! Funny! Wise! Just 'naughty' enough for all kids to become hooked on how Johnny the Strange turned into Johnny the Smooth. A must-read for children with social struggles. While enjoying a good story, children learn how to reflect upon themselves as they observe others; how to read body languages and social cues; how to deal with bullies and loudmouths. Most importantly, kid are taught to take responsibility for their impact on others." - Terry Mark-Tarlow, Ph.D., author of Psyche's Veil: Psychotherapy, Fractals and Complexity and Creativity Inside Out "This witty, captivating set of social mystery cases is interactive and full of interesting and help-ful information. Readers can try to solve the cases tight along with Johnny, the clever social detec-tive. Written for youth, this book is a great tool for any child who struggles to relate with peers." - Judith Coucouvanis, MA, PMJ-IC 5-BC, University of Michigan; author of Super Skills: Social Skills Group Program for Children with Autism and award-winning The Potty Journey: Guide to Toilet Training Children with Special Needs
