Superflex Takes On Glassman and the Team of UnthinkaBots introduces readers to a very persistent and sneaky Unthinkable (or UnthinkaBot) named Glassman, sometimes called Glassy. This imaginary character can be found in the brains of many of Social Town citizens, both kids and adults alike. Glassman confuses people’s understanding that problems come in different sizes. And Glassman’s powers can get citizens to have big reactions when problems are small. This story is about a boy named Aiden and his adventures as he transforms himself into his own superhero Superflex to help his classmates who are regularly visited by Glassman. The kids, as well as the readers, learn strategies from the Superflex Academy to figure out different sizes of problems and reactions. They learn to use calming self-talk and other strategies to find their Superflex inside and manage Glassman!
