About this story
Ten-year-old Mila has built the best castle in BlockWorld, complete with a 412-block dragon. So when a friendly player offers her 1,000 free gems if she just logs in through a special link, it seems like a dream come true. But the offer is in a hurry. And it wants her password. With her logical friend Drew, bouncy friend Ruby and her tech-detective cousin Jonah, Mila learns to spot online tricks, to block and report, and most of all to tell a trusted grown-up without being afraid of getting in trouble. A warm, funny and reassuring chapter book for ages 6-12 about online safety, trust and true friendship.

What Parents Say
Families sharing their experiences with our books and family safety tools.
After reading this, my daughter started asking about how lighthouses work and we ended up looking up videos together. Anything that gets her that curious is a win in my book.
The rhythm of this book is so soothing. It's become our Sunday-morning read. The river metaphor opened up a real conversation about listening to nature with my kids.
A beautiful, quiet story. On high-energy days my 6-year-old can't sit through it, but on calm evenings it's perfect. The language is genuinely lovely.
