For Children Everywhere nwho arent staring at a screen. nThats how this book begins. Its a playful, funny parody of the Christmas classic with a modern setting, a modern theme, and a modern villain. n nThe Hacker hated the holidays! The whole holiday break! nHer reasons lacked specifics but she found it incredibly fake. nIt could be blamed on teenage hormonal change, nOr a not fully developed emotional range. nBut I think that the most likely reason of all nMay have been, due to teasing, shed put up a wall. n nIn this story a sad, angry teen lashes out against her classmates on Christmas break because shes sick of how they act and how they treat her. Shes sick of them staring at their phone screens, bullying her, taking selfies, their addiction to likes and everything thats wrong around the social use of technology today. So she does something about it. n nWatch how the traditional themes of Christmas explode apart in this funny, touching, technologically correct (we get the hacking bits right), and a little too realistic story of Christmas. n nSo what happens when this hacker takes out electronic distractions on Christmas Eve? What happens when the teens cant post pictures of their presents on Christmas day? Does the town get together and learn the meaning of Christmas? Or did the hacker steal that too? n nThis story has been created by the team behind Hacker Highschool, a non-profit initiative to use hacking as a learning methodology to engage teens, improve cybersafety awareness, and train the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. In this project we see teens freely using technology that they have no understanding of the risks consequences. So this story was written as a fun and informative way to bring attention to the drowning effect of technology in the hands of kids today and how nobody is teaching them to swim. n nThe book has been co-illustrated by the (then) 13-year-old Ayla Madison of Youtube and Instagrams Happy Mopey which gives it that authentic teenage feel and Carmen Sullo, an ontological leadership coach with a special interest in all things art and family. n nThis book is fun for everyone and it has many learning points about hacking, technology, society, and self esteem.n
