The Prize That Wanted a Password
What happens when the trickiest message a child receives comes from someone who has been nothing but kind? Maya and Dev have one week to earn the rarest critter in Cosmic Critters, the Mega-Neon Bunny. Then a helpful stranger appears in the game chat. The tips work. The compliments are lovely. And on Thursday night comes the offer: a free Mega-Neon Bunny, just for Maya, if she hands over her username, password and address tonight. Maya nearly types it. Then she opens her Big Book of Is That True and asks the detective's question: says who? Even Otto, the very confident chatbot, gets it dangerously wrong. Written to support online-safety learning in UK schools at Key Stage 2 (KS2), mapped to the relevant strands of the curricula across all four UK nations. The book contains no real AI and collects no data, and it is priced so teachers can afford class copies.
