It’s the first day of middle school, and Kodi is ready for a new start. Goodbye to missed buses, lost papers, and incomplete homework, and hello to being on time, getting good grades, and having time for video games! But Kodi’s plans don’t go as he imagined. Day after day, time keeps getting away from him, and he feels defeated. What can be snatching his time away from him?

With the help of his friend, Juan, and Mrs. Norton, the school speech-language pathologist, Kodi is about find out—and learn how to take time into his own hands.

Mindy Hudon wrote this graphic novel as a tool for SLPs, educators, and caregivers to help children better understand how they can be successful in time management—a critical life skill. Readers will identify with Kodi’s setbacks and successes as he learns how to recognize his “time snatchers,” how to take control of his time, and how to become an effective time manager. Mindy shows how Kodi makes simple changes to get big results.

Supplementary material, like this sample time estimation sheet, includes easy, functional strategies to implement into daily sessions—both in the classroom and at home.
