About this story

Ten-year-old Mila has built the best castle in BlockWorld, complete with a 412-block dragon. So when a friendly player offers her 1,000 free gems if she just logs in through a special link, it seems like a dream come true. But the offer is in a hurry. And it wants her password. With her logical friend Drew, bouncy friend Ruby and her tech-detective cousin Jonah, Mila learns to spot online tricks, to block and report, and most of all to tell a trusted grown-up without being afraid of getting in trouble. A warm, funny and reassuring chapter book for ages 6-12 about online safety, trust and true friendship.
