Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One photograph. One second to press send. And a boy who did not deserve any of it.The storyToby is the quiet one, the one whose ears go red when a teacher says his name, who lends people his coloured pencils and does not even watch to make sure he gets them back. For the school talent show he has bought a second-hand top hat nearly as big as he is, and he is calling himself the Great Tobini.At rehearsal, under the stage lights, he decides to take his jumper off. He should have taken the hat off first.What follows is twenty seconds that Year 5 will talk about for weeks, and a photograph that is around the whole school before anybody has thought about it for even one of them.The tellYour thumb is faster than your thinking. Laughing faces, forwards, captions: each takes one second and each gives the photo a push. Even a private send to one friend builds a bridge for it to travel over.The pause only works before you press send.The swap testPut your own face in the picture and see how the joke feels. If it stops being funny with you in it, it was never as funny as you thought.And the rule underneath it: not your face, not your picture. The person in a photo owns the joke, the moment, all of it. Everyone else is borrowing.You cannot unsend a pigeonDeleting your copy does not bring a photo back from everyone else's screen. So the book does the harder, more useful thing: it is about what you do when a picture is already spreading. Stop pushing it. Delete your copy. Ask others to delete theirs. Never repost it, not even to show how far it has got.And if the picture is of you, tell an adult straight away, because being laughed at is heavy and you were never meant to carry it on your own.What your child will be able to doTreat other people's images with respect: ask before sharing, never pass on an embarrassing image, and know what to do when other people already have.CurriculumAligned to statutory Relationships Education for England, online relationships and being safe, and to the National Curriculum for England, Computing at Key Stage 2 (recognise acceptable and unacceptable behaviour; know ways to report concerns).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A photograph of a shark fin, cutting through the canal like a knife through custard. Underneath it, in capitals: THIS IS REAL. TAKEN TODAY AT FOUNDRY LOCK!!!It is their canal. Their railings, their bins, their sign. Maya knows the spot. She has walked the dog along it about 4,000 times.The storyThere are two weeks until the Grand Kettlebridge Duck Race. Two hundred rubber ducks are living in a crate in the Mistry kitchen, Dev has a clipboard and a spreadsheet and the happiest fortnight of his life ahead of him, and every 50p raised goes towards fixing the roundabout in the park.Then the photo lands in the Year 5 group chat, and it lands the way a dropped tray lands.Here is the part that makes the book work: Maya falls for it. She zooms in, and it still looks real, and she believes it, and she nearly shares it. The story is about what she does next.The tellFakes are built to survive a glance, not a stare. So Maya stares. The writing on the sign is wrong. The shadows disagree with each other.But the test that actually settles it is the one no software will ever fix. Nobody can say who took the photo. A real photograph has a person behind it: somebody who was there, with a name, who you could ask what happened next.So they go and check it against the actual canal, which is the other test that does not expire.At the canal they meet the genuine top of the food chain. He is called Gerald. He is a pike. He is frightened of the weed cutter.How it ends, which mattersMaya writes the correction herself and sends it everywhere the fin ever swam: the Year 5 group, the football chat, the cousins' chat. She signs it "Maya M, who fell for it first."Fixing it out loud, in the same places you got it wrong, is what the best detectives do. That is a lesson most adults have not learned yet.What your child will be able to doExplain that images can be made by a computer, and apply simple "is this real?" checks before believing or sharing. Look hard at the picture, then ask the two questions that always work: who took this, and does it match the real place?CurriculumAligned to the National Curriculum for England, Computing at Key Stage 2 (select, use and combine software including collecting, analysing, evaluating and presenting data and information) and statutory Relationships Education, internet safety and harms.
