‘Team Savv-i takes the reader on an adventure to discover the topics and issues of technology today. Following the path of nine elemental areas of living in a digital society, the reader learns some important lessons of interacting with these devices.

‘This isn't another tome about heady concepts involved in digital ethics. Instead, Casper has created a rollicking read about digital citizenship, told as an adventure that should connect with young teenagers everywhere. It provides a valuable, and fun, teaching tool.’

'There is never enough work done when it comes to increasing awareness about how relevant it is for children nowadays to develop a healthy relationship with technology and to understand how to socially, personally, and professionally function in the digital world. They are the future citizens and in them, we must rely if we want the Internet to be a safer, more positive place. Team Savvi-i - Cyber Secrets is a phenomenal resource to involve young people in the process of becoming smart digital citizens. As a Communications Specialist, I can say the book covers all the messages children and mostly teenagers should receive when it comes to living a safe and positive digital life. But as a mom, I loved this book and find it is an unprecedented help to accompany the kids in learning about a safer Internet while also reading and having fun. Plus, my two eldest children, aged 12 and 10, absolutely loved it; we ended up having really interesting conversations about how to behave, create and share online. I highly recommend this book if you have tweens and teens at home!

‘Team Savv-i is an action packed adventure and the twins at the center of all the action have to figure out how to solve the mystery. If you are looking for a book that will teach kids about making good decisions and being problem solvers online, this book is the one for you. They will also learn tips on being a good digital citizen. The author, Casper Pieters, uses each chapter to explore ideas about digital identity. So, as kids are reading, they are learning an entire language for the internet and digital citizenship. Some topics are super complicated, but Pieters writes in a way that gets kids curious to know more. What’s most interesting for me as a reader of this book is the kids are the heart of all the solutions. This book will keep your kids hooked and help them understand their digital Future. Two thumbs up for Team Savv-i!’
