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.

' - Konnie Huq, BBC Blue Peter presenter and author of the COOKIE! series ' Jam-packed with fascinating facts, this is a fantastically funny and much-needed guide to navigating the news. ' - Rashmi Sirdeshpande, author of DOSH
