Summary (provided by publisher): Dalia Gopie is shorter than all her friends. Then she discovers that her favorite social media influencer is promoting a miracle fruit—one that guarantees to make anyone taller overnight! Is this online fad the real deal, or is the popular influencer selling a tall tale? With the help of other Cyber Sleuths—a network of mystery-solving kids—and legit online resources, Dalia uncovers the truth about this too-good-to-be-true product. Created in partnership with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), this action-packed chapter book is perfect for young readers and demonstrates valuable media literacy skills.
My opinion: You don't need to read very deeply to understand what this book is trying to teach. But that's okay. It makes the messaging easily grasped by young readers. It's a bit of a blunt object over the head in terms of teaching media literacy but it achieves that aim well.
