When the entirety of Holly’s school are given new phones by CyberSky, a new tech company that have set up in the local area, her best friend starts to behave VERY strangely. She is completely addicted to the games on the new device and no longer seems to want a friendship.

Holly however, has even bigger problems to think about. Whilst up on the hilltop by the new phone mast, she is struck by a strange green ray of electricity which gives her superpowers. A reluctant heroine, she is coached by her superhero-loving brother Joe and when Holly goes missing on a visit to CyberSky and then she and Joe discover strange living matter within the phones, she must channel both her bravery and her superpowers to find out what is going on and uncover the strange secrets of CyberSky.

This is such an engaging story with timely, relevant, engaging themes. The chatty first person narrative and the mix of comic strip and chapter book format make this a unique read and a winning format, particularly for less confident readers.
