| Summary/Abstract |
"Here's a deep dive into how real journalism works, what fake news is -- and most importantly, how to spot the difference. Organized into chapters that explore fake news and why it's so popular, how real news gets made, some common types of fake news, and how to investigate what you see online, this book is a must-read guide for kids who get most of their information online. With hilarious examples and humorous and lively illustrations, Can You Believe It? teaches critical thinking skills AND makes them fun. Readers will become familiar with everything from clickbait to advertorials, learning along the way about how bias creeps into fake news, why celebrity Instagram posts may not always be truthful, and why they should be extra suspicious of anything that makes them feel super smart. Thanks to two step-by-step guides to deconstructing fake news articles, and an additional article kids can use to test themselves, as well as a number of tips to keep in mind when browsing online, readers are empowered to build their skills. An engaging, understanding tone never talks down to kids, and a mix of illustration styles, from comics to fake news examples, makes tricky concepts visually appealing. Supported by backmatter that includes an author's note, a glossary, sources, and an index, this book contains everything kids need -- they'll never fall for fake news again!"--Provided by publisher.

| Summary/Abstract |
Madhu is a shy middle-grade developer who spends her holidays creating her dream app, 'School Santhe'. Soon, the app goes viral...and so does she! And why not? After all, an app where everyone at school can trade stuff is the app they've all been waiting for! Madhu now sets her sights on winning the GoTek young developers contest. But when School Santhe is used to sell leaked test papers, she's faced with the hardest decision of her life: a) Shut down the app that made her popular? b) Or stay silent and become part of something...criminal? As her dreams begin to crumble - with the entire school now blaming her for the mess her app has caused - Madhu realizes that sometimes, it's far easier to debug an app than it is to debug your life!
