Sammy Versus the Smart Phone: A Middle-grade Adventure about Fighting Technology Addiction and Reclaiming Real Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780722360293)

My parents have a new daughter.

One who's smarter. Prettier. Better.

Her name is Hollis. And she's my worst enemy.

Tonight, I made a decision. It's either her, or me.

I only have one way to win my family back.

I have to KILL Hollis!

Sammy loves football, being creative, and spending time with her family and friends. But when she gets a smartphone for her eleventh birthday, everything changes.

HOLLIS, a holographic AI interface, is Sammy's perfect digital double. She's determined to get Sammy hooked on scrolling on social media, posting stunning selfies, and obsessing over likes and comments. Soon enough, Sammy's family and friends become addicted to their devices too, and, thanks to her tech-obsessed head teacher, the hands-on learning Sammy loved is no more.

Stressed, unhappy, and bullied online, Sammy decides to fight back!

Can Sammy win the war against the attention-sucking smartphones that have taken over her life?
