Synopsis

One photograph. One second to press send. And a boy who did not deserve any of it.

The story

Toby is the quiet one, the one whose ears go red when a teacher says his name, who lends people his coloured pencils and does not even watch to make sure he gets them back. For the school talent show he has bought a second-hand top hat nearly as big as he is, and he is calling himself the Great Tobini.

At rehearsal, under the stage lights, he decides to take his jumper off. He should have taken the hat off first.

What follows is twenty seconds that Year 5 will talk about for weeks, and a photograph that is around the whole school before anybody has thought about it for even one of them.

The tell

Your thumb is faster than your thinking. Laughing faces, forwards, captions: each takes one second and each gives the photo a push. Even a private send to one friend builds a bridge for it to travel over.

The pause only works before you press send.

The swap test

Put your own face in the picture and see how the joke feels. If it stops being funny with you in it, it was never as funny as you thought.

And the rule underneath it: not your face, not your picture. The person in a photo owns the joke, the moment, all of it. Everyone else is borrowing.

You cannot unsend a pigeon

Deleting your copy does not bring a photo back from everyone else's screen. So the book does the harder, more useful thing: it is about what you do when a picture is already spreading. Stop pushing it. Delete your copy. Ask others to delete theirs. Never repost it, not even to show how far it has got.

And if the picture is of you, tell an adult straight away, because being laughed at is heavy and you were never meant to carry it on your own.

What your child will be able to do

Treat other people's images with respect: ask before sharing, never pass on an embarrassing image, and know what to do when other people already have.

Reading it

Good for

The kindness half of online safety, which usually gets skipped. Internet safety for kids, online safety for kids and cyber safety for kids, taught through consent and empathy rather than danger. Staying safe online for kids when the risk is other children rather than strangers.

A mystery for readers 9 to 12 with genuine feeling in it. Chapter books for 9 to 12 year olds, and a strong choice for reluctant readers, because everybody wants to know what happens to Toby.
