Clicks - How To Be Your Best Self Online

Rather than take the view that we should step away from our phones and generally scaring young people from going online, the author takes a more proactive view; that young people need to learn to see and evaluate all sides of an online argument, be able to spot fake news and explain their ‘take’ in a persuasive manner. The internet is presented in a positive light, and the book is to be used as a tool to navigate it, while maintaining good mental health and self-esteem. Devon encourages  young people to engage in a positive manner by using their social media to campaign for a fairer world, and to show allyship to marginalised groups.

Other topics covered include; pornography (briefly), choosing the best online role models (and how not to hero worship them), how to avoid clickbait, who you are online and how to talk to your parents about anything you might encounter there. There is also a summary of tips, along with a list of helpful organisations.

With a friendly, unpatronizing tone throughout, and lots of examples, this book is suitable for a teen and young adult readership and would be an excellent resource for anyone working with young people.
