Join Misty, a friendly little mole, on a mission to reduce screen time and save her friends' eyesight!

Misty Mole is frustrated because all her friends have mobile phones and tablets, but she does not! She finally persuades her parents to buy her a mobile phone, and plays on it all the time—even under her desk at school! When her eyes get sore, blurry and she can’t sleep, Misty Mole pays a visit to the eye doctor. All of her friends are there with the same concerns: sore, tired eyes, headaches, and blurry vision. The eye doctor informs them that spending less time on screens and more time outdoors is important for their eye health. But everyone is too obsessed with their video games and apps, so Misty Mole needs to think of a creative way to reduce screen time and restore fun in the Woodlands...

MISTY MOLE GOES SCREEN-FREE is a relatable topic of the peer pressure to have a digital device and the unchecked addiction that can lead to vision problems among other issues. This book addresses a real problem in a fictional way to help make children and their parents aware of the myriad issues surrounding too much screen time. This makes for a good read but not likely one that a child will return to again and again as a comfort read. However, as a book with a clear purpose, it does a good job of showing that outside play and time with friends will help with eye strain, eye redness & dryness, and fatigue, and improve relationships with friends. One small point of confusion is the title and the cover image title do not match on retail sites so I am not sure which version will end up in stores.
