An essential guide to equip young readers with the skills and knowledge to be critical, questioning online citizens. From scams to propaganda, newspaper headline to manipulative advertising campaigns this book is packed full of interesting and important information.
Full of fun illustrations, the large font and spacious layouts make this an accessible and inviting read. The authors bring to life what could be dry subjects, with interesting and easy to follow examples and explanations. I particularly enjoyed the mini quizzes that assess your abilities as a critical consumer of information. Whilst tips on navigating algorithms, identifying bots and viewing influencers with a healthy dose of cynicism will all resonate with young readers.
Whilst published for children and young people, many adults would also benefit from reading this clear and informative guide. A great addition to any bookshelf.
