This book is a must-have for every middle-grade library."" - Faith Rogow, author of Media Literacy for Young Children: Teaching Beyond the Screen Time Debates Do you have what it takes to save the summer - and the world? When Nia, Deja, and D'Angelo's summer camp closes unexpectedly, they learn they'll be spending the summer with their Gram and Gran - two figures they barely know who live on a tiny island off the coast of Maine. Their mom is hoping they'll have a screen-free summer, but to their surprise, the island is dominated by a giant skyscraper that gives free, hyperfast Wi-Fi to all. The inventor who built it? Vanished. And as for Gram and Gran? They're more than a little bizarre. Can you solve a series of puzzles and get to the bottom of the island's mysteries? As the siblings will learn, there's a lot more than just their summer on the line. Written by two award-winning educators, Gram and Gran Save the Summer introduces media literacy concepts in the best way possible: with a whimsical story and a fantastic set of challenges to conquer."
