Gr 7 Up–Obee provides a sweeping look at the various possible forms of online networking. The book covers a mountain of material, but does so in a cursory manner. The author takes a mellow, conversational tone that encourages teens to communicate with their parents in setting online usage expectations and in discussing safety. Chatrooms and the likely accompanying bullying are discussed with an open-minded treatment of online access for children. Obee promotes self-regulation with respect to what’s out there and provides resources for online support in the face of bullying....It is a great read for parents who are seeking to better understand their children’s online world and bring themselves up to speed.
