Friendly Monsters: Behind the Computer

by Cheurlie Pierre-Russell

Loulou is usually a happy little child without a care in the world. But she's about to learn a harsh lesson on human nature, which begins with a smartphone... Loulou's parents have finally decided it is time to let their daughter own a smartphone. They wanted Loulou to fit in with her peers at her new school, as she always tended to be ridiculed. They hoped it would be different at her new school this time, but sometimes, life doesn't work out the way we want. Like most Gen Z kids, Loulou's nose always seemed buried in her phone. She only looks up when there's an excellent photo she wants to share on Facebook, and then it's back to the screen again. Loulou thought that her parent's decision was just on time. After all, her birthday was getting close, and she was going to take many fantastic pictures and upload them to Facebook and bask in the countless digital likes and approval of her new friends. But she was about to learn a dark and scary truth about how social media brought out people's inner demons and turned otherwise ordinary people into mean-spirited individuals who sought ways to bring down and hurt other people. Will she find a way to overcome the dark truth of human nature and keep it moving, or will she spiral down into a bottomless pit of depression?

Awesome read for children to understand the underbelly of social media at a young age. This book will help the parents to open up to talk with their little ones about cyberbullying and the ugly side of some friends. Nice job author and this will be referred to several other mothers with little ones.

***Recommended for all children who associate with the media world.*******
