Detective Scarlett helps Alice, Noah, and Ava learn about OCD and teaches them how to take back their lives and defeat their Bully Brains through exposure and response prevention-based strategies. Ella does a wonderful job of showcasing some of the lesser-known OCD themes such as ""just right"" while demonstrating the tremendous distress and interference that kids experience because of obsessions and compulsions. This is a great book for clinicians to share with older kids and parents in treatment for OCD."" --Daisy Jackson, PhD Licensed Clinical Psychologist Book Review 3: ""How to Defeat Bully Brain: OCD Detectives offers a message of hope and helps children understand they are not alone!
