About This Book
Reach for this book when your teen starts spending more time on forums or social media and you want to discuss how misinformation spreads during real-world crises. This gripping mystery follows Quinn, a high schooler with a popular conspiracy-theory blog, who discovers that the viral rumors she helps fuel have dangerous, life-altering consequences when local children go missing. It is a powerful exploration of digital literacy, the ethics of online influence, and the weight of personal responsibility. This is an essential choice for parents looking to build critical thinking skills in an age of 'fake news' and online radicalization. It offers a realistic look at how even well-intentioned kids can be manipulated by digital algorithms, all while featuring a strong protagonist who navigates life as a wheelchair user. Best for ages 13 and up due to themes of kidnapping and online harassment.
