A funny, practical and ever-so timely guide to the NEWS for
8-12-year-olds. Find out how to understand and navigate 24/7 news,
how to spot the facts from the fake . . . and what to do if the
news becomes overwhelming. Perfect for fans of Matthew Syed's You
Are Awesome and Rashmi Sirdeshpande's Dosh. It's never been easier
to access the news; TV, radio, billboards, newspapers and endlessly
buzzing on to the screens in our pockets. But with more and more
news available, it's hard to know what to trust. Where do stories
come from? What's real news and what's fake? And what role does
social media play in all of this? Insightful, hands-on, essential
and reassuring, Breaking News will help children navigate the peaks
and pitfalls of our modern day news cycle, through laugh-out-loud
text, amusing illustration and interactive activities. Praise for
