Cyber Scout Duwayne and the Secret of the Safe Screen
A colourful digital safety adventure for children aged 5–12 and the grown-ups who love them.
Meet Duwayne, a curious young Cyber Scout learning how to pause, spot clues and make safer choices online. Through illustrated stories and everyday situations, children explore what to do when a prize looks too good to be true, someone asks for private information, a photograph reveals more than expected, or a familiar voice makes an unusual request.
The 64-page ebook is designed to grow with its readers:
- Discover, ages 5–7: Seven short missions introduce passwords, online strangers, photographs, kindness, unexpected messages and the family code.
- Explore, ages 8–12: Seven chapters look more closely at suspicious offers, privacy, digital footprints, online conversations and AI-generated voices.
- A Note for Grown-Ups: Practical context on social media, gaming, sharenting, grooming warning signs, cyberbullying, scams, privacy settings and where to get help.
Clear reminders and colourful pages make it easy to read together and return to as new questions come up. Written for families in different countries, the book focuses on habits children can use wherever they live: pause, think, check, protect, be kind and speak up.
Why this book is different:
Written by an information security professional specialising in human risk and cybersecurity awareness, this isn't generic advice repackaged for kids. It's built on the same thinking used to train adults to recognise real-world scams and manipulation, translated into something a 6-year-old can actually enjoy and a parent can actually use.

Remember, the best online safety habits start with a conversation, not a lecture.
