Blunt and totally honest, Dangerous Influence explores the issues of online safety and children’s right to privacy through this engaging Young Adult novel for readers age 13+ but with a reading level of 8+. As one of Barrington Stoke’s invaluable high-interest, low-reading-level books, it is accessible to a wide range of readers while remaining thought-provoking and relevant for all young people. With so much to discuss, it would make an excellent form-time read for Key Stage 3 and 4 classes.
Anna and Josie’s mum is internet famous. Her vlog and social media posts document their lives online – the good, the bad and everything in between. When they were younger, it was awkward; now, it’s becoming hugely embarrassing and is having a major impact on their friendships. They try to explain that they want it to stop but it’s Mum’s livelihood and she loves the attention. Will it take a stalker and an active strike by the girls to make Mum realise the danger they’re in?
Barrington Stoke can always be relied on to create entertaining, meaningful, empathy-filled stories that are accessible and empowering for readers. With dyslexia-friendly font, spacing and page tint, everyone can enjoy these books. The manageable length and carefully chosen vocabulary encourages success and brings children back for more.
