There are a multitude of fabulous ideas in its clever and appealing 'Rebel’s Code':
Use technology as a tool. Don’t let technology use you! Fill your life with real friendship, freedom and fun.
The book encourages us all to outsmart the tech companies – or to at least think about our daily habits. To find our own ways to switch off, have fun, connect in real life and create fulfilment, whether we're plugged in or not.
It also helps us to think about who we look up to – and why.
Fascinating anecdotes (did you know that many who live and work in the tech industry will NEVER let their children have social media or smartphones??) and stories from real life young-adult rebels who’ve ditched tech and not only survived but thrived, are all parts of this journey.
Best-selling authors Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price have joined forces with illustrator Cynthia Yuan Cheng to create a remarkably engaging, readable and important book.
They don’t boss you round. They don’t tell you what to do. Instead, they remind you of the greatest power that you have – choice.
The Amazing Generation is yet another cracking new junior non-fiction paperback. This one offers ways to find the good in technology and make it work for kids. It shines a bright light and I cannot recommend it more highly.

Appealing to readers of all ages (including adults) it specifically targets 9 – 12 year olds – with infographics, text boxes, illustrations and interactive challenges. It's a book that educates, advocates, empowers and uplifts.
Essential reading.
