Dangerous Influence

“Thought-provoking portrayal of the complex dynamics of influencer culture and the dangers of “sharenting” … Carnegie-shortlisted Nicholls manages to tackle this timely, thorny issue as well as difficult family relationships without being patronising or offering easy answers.” – The Bookseller, Children’s Previews: September, 10 Titles not to miss
“I’ve often thought about the impact on children of being posted on their parents’ Insta accounts and Sally took that one step further into influencer territory and addressed some really huge and relevant concerns – all through a brilliant and powerful story.” — Sophie McKenzie
“HOT DAMN. Did this pack a punch! Great commentary on influencer culture, especially in the family space” — Blogger
“Blunt and totally honest, Dangerous Influence explores the issues of online safety and children’s right to privacy…As one of Barrington Stoke’s invaluable high-interest, low-reading-level books, it is accessible to a wide range of readers while remaining thought-provoking and relevant for all young people. With so much to discuss, it would make an excellent form-time read for Key Stage 3 and 4 classes.” – Scope for Imagination, blog
“While it focuses on the impact of growing up online and having your life shared for an audience, it also creates opportunities for readers and families to discuss the broader risks and responsibilities that come with using the internet. Nicholls handles these topics in an accessible way for the target audience while never talking down to readers.” – NetGalley review
“A really well written and understanding book that gave credence to the struggles of growing up in the public eye … A very timely story that I hope gets read by the kids that need it.” — NetGalley review
“This should be required reading for anyone showing their kid on the internet.” – NetGalley review
