Synopsis

Is your child about to get their first mobile phone — or already glued to one?
Most kids receive their first device with zero preparation for what comes next: unexpected messages from strangers, bill shock, lost devices, and the pressure of always being reachable. This book gives children the safety knowledge they need before problems arise — wrapped in a story they'll actually want to read.

The Story

She's been waiting her whole life for a mobile phone. But is it everything she dreamed of?

Ten-year-old Elle is bursting with excitement — she's finally getting a mobile phone for her birthday! But before her big day arrives, her friends start sharing stories she wasn't expecting to hear. Maya received horrible anonymous messages and didn't know who to turn to. Lucy racked up a phone bill so enormous her parents nearly fell off their chairs. And when a mobile phone goes missing on the bus, Elle learns that even losing a device can lead to a whole new set of worries.

Told through Elle's hilarious and relatable diary entries, this charming story follows an ordinary girl navigating the very real challenges of entering the digital world for the first time. With warmth, humour, and just the right amount of kid-logic, Elle and her friends discover that knowing the rules of mobile phone use can make all the difference between a fun gadget and a total disaster.

Perfect for children aged 7–12, this first book in the Diary of Elle cyber-safety series is a funny, fast-paced read that turns essential digital literacy lessons into an adventure kids will actually enjoy.
