Cortex Castle: Meet the Team Inside Your Head

By Maisel McLaula

Welcome to Cortex Castle, the busy control center where the brain's executive helpers work together. Inside the castle live the planners, decision makers, focus keepers, time trackers, and problem solvers who help the brain guide everyday life.

In this special story, the characters of Cortex Castle gather to show how each of their jobs fits together. When a big challenge arrives at the castle gates, every helper must use their unique brain skill to solve the problem as a team.

Through playful rhyme and imaginative storytelling, children discover that their brain is full of helpers working together, and that every challenge is easier when those helpers cooperate.

Plus, every book includes bonus learning material: a Teacher and Parent Guide, kid-friendly explainers, discussion starters, hands-on visual activities, and curated resources, giving grown-ups simple, science-backed ways to keep the learning going long after the last page.
