"This is a fascinating and thought provoking volume on youth engagement with digital technology and one that is genuinely transnational and transdisciplinary in flavour. Studies of gaming, video production and social media show how new technologies are woven into the lives of young people, supporting their developing sense of agency and civic engagement. An important contribution to the field."Guy Merchant, Professor of Literacy in Education, Sheffield Hallam University, UK."In establishing a more balanced approach to childhood and its endorsement of online media, Kontopodis, Varvantakis, and Wulf offer a cross-cultural collective work that may potentially contribute to policy making agendas in addition to contributing to the broader body of research about children and the media."Despina Chronaki, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece.
