The App That Asked Too Much: An Online Safety Story for Children About Oversharing and Personal Information (Ages 7 to 11)

Why does a free quiz need to know where you live? Everyone in Year 5 wants a Hero Card from the SuperMe quiz app. Twenty brilliant questions, fizzing gold stars, and a hero name that feels made just for you. Dev is one tap away from becoming Captain Statistic. Then the app asks for his full name, his school, his address and a photo of his face. Otto, the very confident chatbot, says sharing is perfectly safe. Maya Mistry is not so sure. Together they uncover the question ladder, the dodgy swap, and why a trusted adult is always the strong move. Written to support online-safety learning in UK schools at Key Stage 2 (KS2), mapped to the relevant strands of the curricula across all four UK nations. The book features no real AI and collects no data from readers, and it is priced to stay affordable for teachers who often buy classroom resources themselves.
