Overview"Theme: tech obsession - An enthralling virtual adventure turns perilous, as friends race against time in a digital labyrinth to rescue one of their own from the seductive clutches of a reality-bending game. When Bindi's best friend Maddy falls into a mysterious catatonic state during a session on her new DreamWalker VR-a birthday gift that promised unparalleled adventures-it baffles everyone, even the doctors. But Bindi's tech-savvy twin, Beam, uncovers startling data: Maddy might have vanished into a dangerous and uncharted digital realm, her own bespoke metaverse. Driven by loyalty and fear, Bindi knows that the peril of becoming trapped like Maddy is immense, yet the risk is worth it. With her determined companions at her side, she plunges into the virtual world, where fantastical landscapes and shadowy dangers lurk at every turn. In this treacherous digital wonderland, finding Maddy is their only mission. If they fail, Maddy could be lost in her fantasy forever. Join Bindi and her friends in a race against time through layers of increasingly perilous digital realms. Can they save Maddy and escape, or will they too become prisoners of the metaverse? ""As a parent, I'm always looking for books that not only entertain my kids but also teach valuable lessons. 'The Web Trap was a hit at home - my 10-year-old couldn't put it down! It sparked great conversations about online safety and the importance of being responsible on the internet."" - Sarah Livingstone ""I'm an elementary school teacher and recently introduced The Web Trap to my class. The students loved the digital adventure and were fully engaged in the story. It's rare to find a book that resonates so well with this age group while also addressing crucial digital age issues."" - Mark Rutherford, 5th Grade Teacher ""My son is a reluctant reader, but The Web Trap captured his imagination. He was fascinated by the virtual world and the characters' journey. It's wonderful to see him so excited about reading and learning."" - Emily Haye ""I read The Web Trap to my library's young readers group, and they were absolutely enthralled. The book led to an informative discussion about internet safety, and the kids were eager to learn more. The chapter questions and in-class activities help bring the concept of tech obsession and how this can influence social relationships to life, facilitating a deeper understanding among my students. It's a great tool for teaching such digital literacy in a fun and engaging way."" - Lisa Houghton, Librarian ""I'm 11 years old, and I just loved this book!

Table of ContentsReviews'What's most interesting for me as a reader of this book is the kids are the heart of all the solutions. This book will keep your kids hooked and help them understand their digital Future.' Liv Van Ledtje, Book Activist @thelivbits 'This isn't another tome about heady concepts involved in digital ethics. Instead, Casper has created a rollicking read about digital citizenship, told as an adventure that should connect with teenagers everywhere. It provides a valuable, and fun, teaching tool.' Professor Emeritus Jason Ohler, author of Digital Community, Digital Citizen and The Big Ideas newsletter and co-founder of the Digital Citizenship Institute. 'The Bindi & Beam series takes the reader on adventures to discover the topics and issues of technology today. Following the path of nine elemental areas of living in a digital society the reader learns some important lessons of interacting with these devices. This book helps to focus on the important needs of technology users today and into the future.' Dr. Mike Ribble, Ed.D. author of Digital Citizenship in Schools and co-founder of the Digital Citizenship Institute, USA. 'There is never enough work done when it comes to increasing awareness about how relevant it is for children nowadays to develop a healthy relationship with technology and to understand how to socially, personally and professionally function in the digital world. They are the future citizens and in them we must rely if we want the Internet to be a safer, more positive place. As a Communications specialist, I can say this series covers all the messages children and mostly teenagers should receive when it comes to living a safe and positive digital life. But as a mom, I loved this book and find it is an unprecedented help to accompany the kids in learning about a safer Internet while also reading and having fun. Plus, my two eldest children, aged 12 and 10, absolutely loved it; we ended up having really interesting conversations about how to behave, create and share online. I highly recommend this book if you have tweens and teens at home!' Mar�a Zabala, Journalist and expert on Technology & Family.
