Mikey McKenzie is an expert at using the scientific method to solve problems in his neighborhood and school.

But everything changes when the kooky Principal Walker appoints him as the new school principal when she gets called away, much to the chagrin of the stern Vice Principal Sherman. It's a dream come true for Mikey to finally have the power to implement all his great ideas to improve the school. However, when the power goes to his head, the new job strains his relationships with his best friend and his sister he looks up to. On top of that, the district is threatening to close the underperforming school unless they ace the new standardized test. By the end, he'll have to think outside the box to find solutions that will save the school and his most valued relationships. S.T.E.A.M. concepts: problem-solving, scientific method, educational technology, health/medicine, and social-emotional learning.

More Adventures of Little Mikey is the second in a series of chapter books, featuring Little Mikey and his schoolmates. The first book in the series, The Adventures of Little Mikey, highlighted character traits that improve social emotional learning (SEL). The impetus for creating this series is to provide an additional tool to support parents, teachers, counselors, and other educators as they engage students in social emotional learning, which is regarded by educators as foundational and critical to the academic success of students. More Adventures of Little Mikey continues to illustrate the importance of children displaying strong character traits such as kindness, respect, generosity, fairness, compassion, unselfishness, and self-awareness. At the end of each chapter, there are several questions that encourage children to think more about those character traits. Book Review 1: “Children rarely if ever learn civility, respect, kindness, and compassion from lectures by adults, but children of all ages can and do learn these positive character traits from good examples. And sometimes these good examples can be other children that they get to know in timely and age-appropriate fiction like More Adventures of Little Mikey. In this book, three friends from diverse backgrounds navigate their school year by helping their classmates learn some important life lessons about how to treat others while also learning STEM skills. Independent readers will enjoy this book on their own, and younger readers will enjoy having it read aloud to them by adults. And each chapter offers gentle but very timely lessons for readers of all ages.” -- Dr. Allison Gilmore, former college administrator and educator Book Review 2: “More Adventures of Little Mikey has many different teachable moments that parents can use as talking points with their kids. The reoccurring theme is treating people with respect, no matter the differences, is a much-needed message in today’s society. I like that the examples used are everyday issues that kids face: accepting ownership for their actions; welcoming a new student to their class; and helping others in need. It sparked some conversation ideas for me to have with my daughter.” -- Ms. Latoya Norman, mother Book Review 3: “As a reader, I truly enjoyed diving into More Adventures of Little Mikey, the second installment of the Little Mikey series. As a teacher and public school administrator, I value the message and social-emotional growth of the characters. The relatable characters grow with the reader as they struggle with common problems of today’s children. The social-emotional learning (SEL) elements are an excellent tool for educators and parents to share with the important children in their life. Each chapter is followed by a series of thought-provoking questions that allow children to talk through the complexities of their world. Little Mikey is a boy who makes mistakes but is guided by strong role models who help him grow and develop strong character traits through each learning experience. This engaging book shares tales of relevant issues in a way that is safe for children in both the home and the classroom. More Adventures of Little Mikey would be a great addition to any library and certainly belongs in our SEL toolkit.” -- Ms. Tracy Horne, Elementary School Principal
