by Margaret McArthur, Bryan Jason Ynion (Illustrator)

Overview

Rob the Robot receives a Smartpad for his birthday. What's the first thing a young robot would do? Download chat apps of course! Rob loves his chat-apps and talks to all of his friends. But then, a stranger messages him; Tinny, who claims to know Rob's dad.

But it isn't long before Rob begins to suspect something strange about Tinny. Why does Tinny ask for pictures of Rob? Why does he want to stay his 'secret friend'? And why does he want to meet Rob in a scary part of town?

Join Rob as he learns how to be safe online.

About the Author

Author, Margaret McArthur, was inspired to write a confronting children's book that focused on cyber safety. There are many dangers that face children in the current online sphere, and Margaret creates child-friendly picture books to address these issue, including online grooming, social media use, cyber bullying, and more.
Margaret has over decades of teaching experience and has been a cybersafe expert for over 10 years. As a concerned educator, Margaret realised that there were scarce child-friendly books out there that address these prominent issues. The horrifying truth is, children are caught up in these horrific issues more than we think, and the issue is becoming easier access due to unsupervised online access. Margaret's wish is to educate children to help them recognise the signs and avoid this dangerous web.
