• A powerful childrens book that can be read on multiple levels - it is a fun and interactive superhero story, a real life telling of quirks and issues relating to Aspergers, and a more thorough guide to Aspergers for older audiences.
• Promotes SELF-ACCEPTANCE, AWARENESS, and an UNDERSTANDING for others who are different.
• Addresses bullying in a meaningful and appropriate way.
The adorkable JMan and his plucky hedgehog sidekick, Mr. Redge are the unstoppable, secret superhero team who save a classmate from the poking pranks of Dr. Evil Touch! Join this quirky duo on their quest to stop a bully, make the school playground a peaceful place, and more importantly, make a new friend who likes crime fighting, capes and karate, too. Discover JMan’s hidden notebook on each page about what it’s like to be an Aspie.
FOR KIDS AGES 5-11

Latest reviews of The Mighty League Vol 1 - The Terrible Taunting - A Blackfish Children's Book app for iPhone and iPad
This is a wonderful and creative book ap with stories that not only entertain but also teach some life lessons for all children. I would definitely recommend it to any of my friends with young kids.
This is a wonderful story in several ways. First, it is a straightforward superhero story that I read with my kids (and they loved it). After the first reading, though, we read it again and opened the super secret notebook. The story had an entirely new meaning - it has strong lessons on being different, handling bullying, and Aspergers Syndrome. It is one of my favorite book apps and I highly recommend it. The book is fun with lots of interactive objects, high quality narration with word highlighting, and record your own narration.
The Mighty League Vol I The Terrible Taunting app is at the top of my app list! An incredible storybook app that can be customized for a boy or girl character with Aspergers syndrome. Share this story with your child or student and open up dialogue regarding what it is like to have Aspergers or be a friend, family member, or classmate of someone with Aspergers. Tolerance, understanding, differences and bullying are topics embedded within this lesson filled storybook app. Features for customizing the built in narration make it even more individualized. The catchy tune can be turned on and off as well as an adjustment for the volume level. Use this app to help facilitate social skills or pragmatic group discussion. The clean, crisp and colorful graphics that are somewhat comic book style will have you engaged from the moment the app opens! I highly recommend this awesomely epic app! ACTbyJackieBryla
