On the popular microblogging site Twitter, teens and others can broadcast their voices around the world in 14-character tweets. They can get updates on breaking news and connect with peers, like-minded strangers, and even their favorite celebrities. However, many of Twitter’s advantages can also make it dangerous for unsuspecting teens. This title raises readers’ awareness of the potential pitfalls of Twitter and explains what they need to know to use Twitter safely and enjoyably. Engaging photos, myths and facts, and questions for an Internet security expert enhance the clear text.

This timely series focuses on safe use of the Internet and social media, explaining each activity, noting pleasures as well as perils, and offering suggestions for minimizing risk. The information is organized into short chapters liberally laced with appropriate subheadings, photographs of young users, and boxes to break up the text and presented in an oversize, easy-to-read font. Each title also includes a list of questions for further thinking and investigating. The speed of change and the need for continued vigilance is stressed in all four books. All four titles cover password construction and warn against password sharing. In spite of similarities across the titles, there is enough specific information in each to justify purchasing the full series. In spite of the older faces on the covers, this would be most useful for middle-schoolers just entering the social media world. Grades 5-8. --Kathleen Isaacs
