'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.''

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 important, kid are taught to take responsibility for their impact on others.'1 Terry Mark -Tarlow, Ph.D., author of Psyche's Veil: Psychotherapy, Fractals and Complexity and Creativity Inside Out 'Jeff Jessum has made an important breakthrough in the teaching of social skills.
