📰 About the Book
Harold casually spreads a sensational rumour he saw online, causing real-world damage to a peer and learning the heavy importance of verifying facts.
Harold Mitchell is thirteen years old and loves being the first to share juicy news. But when he forwards a scandalous video without checking if it's actually true, the fallout creates a massive, hurtful mess for someone at school.
This is the story of what happens when gossip moves at the speed of the internet, and the hilarious, chaotic reality of learning to pause and think critically before you post.
