Description
Sunday, 9:47 PM. Lena stares at her phone, fingers frozen above the glowing screen. Her online friend has just admitted she isn't a girl.
For three weeks, 'Zoe' has been Lena's favourite person to talk to — the only one who gets her drawings. Then Zoe turns out to be Zak. Then Zak turns out to be nobody at all. At midnight a message arrives from an unknown number. It knows Lena's school. It knows Emma, Madison and Chloe. It knows her cat is called Whiskers. It wants one more photo within 24 hours, and it has one rule: don't tell anyone. Who can Lena talk to when telling feels like the scariest thing of all?
Then her dad opens the bedroom door, and Lena finally says the sentence she has been swallowing for three days.
For parents: this is a story about online safety — a girl pressured by someone she met online, and the moment she asks a grown-up for help. It is suspenseful but never frightening: nothing is graphic, the adults are calm and kind, and the ending is safe, hopeful and entirely on Lena's side. The message arrives sideways, inside a fast-moving story — without lecturing, never preachy.
Illustrated throughout, and ending with discussion questions, family activities, puzzles and games, and an original song, 'You Are Not Alone.'
Perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love gripping realistic fiction, illustrated chapter book series with a girl main character, and stories about internet safety and speaking up.
Book 2 of Lena's Real Life Adventures. Each book stands alone — start anywhere.
