Cyber Secrets is a fast-paced edufiction adventure for teens that draws readers into the excitement and risks of life in a digitally connected world. As Team Savv-i sets out to make the metaverse safer and bridge the digital divide, they face cyber threats, surveillance, manipulation, and tough ethical choices that feel strikingly relevant to young people today. For parents and educators, it offers more than an engaging story: it opens the door to meaningful conversations about digital citizenship, online safety, media awareness, and responsible technology use in a way that feels natural, gripping, and age-appropriate.
Cyber Secrets and its companion Activity Guide make a powerful, story-rich learning package that belongs on the bookshelf of every parent, educator, homeschooler, and school library seeking meaningful ways to engage young teens with the realities of digital life. In the novel, readers are swept into a high-stakes adventure with Team Savv-i as they confront cyber threats, surveillance, manipulation, online ethics, and the widening digital divide. What makes the book so compelling is that these big issues are not taught as abstract lessons, but lived through suspense, character conflict, and brave decision-making, giving teens an emotionally engaging way to explore digital citizenship from the inside out.The companion Activity Guide extends that experience into a practical, flexible teaching resource that helps adults turn the story into rich discussion, reflection, and real learning. Designed for classrooms, libraries, workshops, and home settings, it offers chapter-by-chapter guidance, in-depth educator overviews, reflective questions, zero-tech challenges, tech-integrated activities, printable resources, and clear connections to digital citizenship, online safety, cyberbullying prevention, and ethical technology use. It is intentionally adaptable for a wide range of learners and learning environments, making it especially valuable for educators and caregivers who want material that is both engaging and immediately usable.
Together, Cyber Secrets and its Activity Guide offer far more than an entertaining read or a set of lesson ideas. They form an integrated, age-appropriate toolkit for helping young people think critically, act responsibly, and grow in confidence as digital citizens. For any bookshelf, classroom collection, or library committed to preparing teens for the challenges and opportunities of the online world, this is a timely, relevant, and highly worthwhile addition.
'Team Savv-i takes the 9 elements of digital citizenship and brings the reader on an action packed adventure full of mystery and suspense. The characters don't just talk about digital citizenship, they do it! As a mother and son digital citizenship team, we agree that Team Savv-i reminds us all that we learn best by doing things together. The ultimate goal is to empower our students to be the same person both on and offline and this is the Team Savv-i message.'
