Online Summary

Online by Anne Rooney

The Internet is brilliant. It can help you keep you in touch with your friends and family via social media and you can use it to find out about all sorts of amazing things - like what your favourite band is up to and it's a great tool for showcasing your ideas and talents. But the Internet does have a darker side. Some people use it to commit crimes and to try to hurt other people. Cyber-bullying, stalking, and fraud (such as where people try to use your personal details to commit a crime) are just some of the things you should be aware of when you are using the Internet. This book will help you stay safe online. Full of advice about how to spot fakes - people who aren't who they say they are, what to do if you think you are being bullied and how to protect your personal details. This book is an essential guide for any child who uses the Internet, whether you access it on a computer, tablet or smartphone. Keeping Safe is a series of four books aimed at children aged 9+, dealing with the hot topics on staying safe in the modern world.

About Anne Rooney

I write short books for short children and longer books for longer people. I've been writing fiction and non-fiction for young people, and non-fiction since the last millennium - luckily, the end of the last millennium and I'm not even nearly 1000 years old. I particularly enjoy reading and writing stories with a bit of a twist and, for older readers, an element of horror. I definitely have a Gothic streak. Writers I really admire include Minnie Gray, Oliver Jeffers, Shaun Tan, Edward Gorey, Tove Jansson, Marcus Sedgwick, Siobhan Dowd and Melvin Burgess. I love being a writer because (a) it gives me the chance to be enthusiastic about things and share my enthusiasm with other people (b) I get paid for telling lies and (c) I don't have to do as I'm told, unlike people with a real job. I like to listen to music when I'm writing, and usually pick a few pieces of music that go with each book and listen to them again and again - most of them are opera. Although I spend most of my time writing, I also spend some helping other people with their own writing - mostly young people, who are doing a degree at university. This is great fun as I get to read lots of stories by writers who are just starting. I live in Cambridge, which is a very ancient city in the east of England with lots of ornate and pointy buildings. It's very flat in Cambridge, so it's easy to go everywhere by bicycle, but it's also rather wet. If I could live anywhere at all, it would probably be in Venice, which is also flat, ancient and full of pointy buildings. It's even wetter than Cambridge, and people go everywhere by boat.
