Brain Hacks is a colorful, high-energy graphic novel where five teens meet online, form friendships and discuss the ups and downs of their different high school experiences. In this process, they imagine a helpful brain-based CREW that consists of 4 different characters; each one offering a different set of practical strategies for the teens to carry out. With science-powered “mind magic,” they learn how thoughts, feelings, memories, and imagination can team up to build confidence, motivation, and problem-solve which all involve executive functioning. Packed with dynamic visuals, time-travel, and brain-boosting tips, this adventure makes managing a tween or teen’s mind feel like the coolest superpower ever.
