About the Book

A funny, heartfelt picture book about screen time, friendship, and finding balance. Mr Online learns that real fun happens when you look up, join in, and make memories with the people around you.

Book Synopsis

Mr Online - The Screen-Obsessed Friend is a colourful, funny story about a friend who hasn't yet discovered how good it feels to be in the moment.

While his friends play and explore, he scrolls, swipes and watches - until he realises the fun he's missing is right in front of him.

This is the first book in the Mr Mandem - Real Talk for Little People series: modern picture books that make kids laugh while sparking real conversations about life. Perfect for ages 4-8, the series blends humour with honesty, helping children navigate challenges like screens, friendship, and resilience.

Parents and teachers love the Real Talk Prompts at the back - short, open-ended questions that open up big discussions about feelings, choices, and real-world connections.

With vibrant illustrations by Luka Jovanovic and a story by Jamie McKeen, Mr Online is an uplifting reminder that sometimes the best adventures happen when we look up.

A book to read, laugh at, and talk about - together.
