Reach for this book when your child feels their privacy has been compromised by 'sharenting' or struggles with a parent who overshares online. It is a vital resource for navigating the digital age, specifically addressing the embarrassment and loss of agency a child feels when their life is broadcast without consent. The story follows twelve-year-old Scarlett, who retreats from social life because of her mother's lifestyle blog.

Appropriate for ages 8 to 12, this contemporary novel explores deep emotional themes of shame, loneliness, and the courage required to stand up to a parent. It offers a hopeful model for how children can find their own 'offline' passion to buffer against the pressures of an online world. Parents will appreciate the nuanced portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship that is loving but flawed, providing a safe space to discuss digital ethics and personal boundaries.
