"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 young teenagers everywhere. It provides a valuable, and fun, teaching tool." — Professor Emeritus Jason Ohler, Author of Digital Community, Digital Citizen. Team Savv-i is an action packed adventure and the twins at the center of all the action have to figure out how to solve the mystery. If you are looking for a book that will teach kids about making good decisions and being problem solvers online, this book is the one for you. They will also learn tips on being a good digital citizen. The author, Casper Pieters, uses each chapter to explore ideas about digital identity. So, as kids are reading, they are learning an entire language for the internet and digital citizenship. Some topics are super complicated, but Pieters writes in a way that gets kids curious to know more. 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. Two thumbs up for Team Savv-i!' — Liv Van Ledtje, Teenager, social media influencer @thelivbits
