Ruby needs to pass her exams if she's to be allowed to go to her Arts Camp in the summer, but she's struggling. But then she finds out about Echostar, a new app that can help her with everything. Always watching, always listening, always ready to help – it's everything she wants. But what secret is it hiding? And what price will she have to pay?
Echostar Is Always Listening is a tightly written tech thriller, sinister and completely believable. Coming from Barrington Stoke, it's easy-read, super accessible and delivered with dyslexia friendly paper and font, with a suggested age range of 11+ but a reading age of 8+. It neatly hints at the dangers of tech without going too deep, and has a nice hook at the end. I loved it, and devoured it almost in one sitting!
Many thanks to Barrington Stoke for my copy of this book.
