Editorial Reviews

"This fun, comic book–style series explains how to be a good digital citizen. Poor Nermal keeps making bad decisions online: illegally downloading a movie from a 'TOTALLY SAFE!' website and getting a virus, oversharing on social media and endangering himself, nearly sharing his gaming password with a stranger online, and posting an unflattering picture of Otto which leads to the octopus getting cyberbullied. Garfield keeps shuffling in to save the day. With the help of Dr. Cybrina, a sassy cat working at the Center for Cyber Safety and Education, and her 'Internet Safety Toolbox,' Nermal learns how to be a good person on the web. Post-narrative activities include comprehension questions that gauge what readers have learned. VERDICT Sure to be a crowd-pleaser; a first purchase where 'Garfield' comic collections circulate well."—School Library Journal
