Summary

Today’s children struggle with a range of issues, from depression and anxiety to poor body image and low self-esteem. In fact, research suggests that at any given time around 10 per cent of students will be suffering from a mental health issue that directly impacts on their education and health. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (the subject of Dr Russ Harris’s bestselling The Happiness Trap) has been proven to be effective in teaching young people effective, flexible strategies for dealing with the stressors in their life and these principles are now brought to life in this graphic novel. By following the main character, Holly, through her encounters with monsters (symbolising her inner doubts and unpleasant thoughts), children will learn how to similarly deal with their own issues and develop a more resilient mental attitude and achieve better emotional balance.

    The third slimy segment in Kirk Scroggs’ ghoulishly  good Wiley and Grampa’s Creature Features series,  Monster Fish Frenzy is a gut-busting, Pork Cracklin’-filled  tale involving aquatic adventures both awesome and  awful. When Wiley and Grampa courageously set out  upon Lake Putrid to catch the infamous Moby Fizz,  they’ll brave more disgusting dangers—particularly  Gramma’s homemade pimento and cheese—than Grampa’s trusty fishing net  can handle.
