The Amazing Generation

“A book of tips, tricks, and the science behind smartphone and device addiction that completely respects its audience. This brilliant volume is filled with hard truths that still ring with positivity, and the design and comic-style illustrations will keep readers’ interest while making a case for the importance of unplugging.”—School Library Journal (Best Books of the Year)

"The book’s design provides plenty of attention-grabbing material, but it’s the research that makes it relevant and convincing, particularly since the authors never blame the users of technology. The book addresses the importance of choosing a better path to support and maintain mental health with conviction. Will inspire balanced and thoughtful decision-making in a world where technology is designed to promote impulsivity." —Kirkus

"[An] eye-roll–proof script for calmer boundaries and fewer power struggles."—Oprah Daily

"This is an eye-opening book, designed for kids but also incredibly readable for parents who know that we need to do something, anything to proactively get them away from screens—but who aren’t quite sure how to convince them."—The Boston Globe

★"What makes this book stand out is its upbeat, encouraging approach.. Haidt and Price offer kid-friendly strategies... Their book’s illustrations and graphics are bright, fun, and engaging and feature a diverse set of teens. A fresh, motivating guide recommended for students and educators who want to encourage independence, curiosity, and real-world adventures, and a fun reminder that life off-screen can be just as exciting as the digital world, if not more.” —School Library Journal, starred review

"An important antidote to the daily pull and messaging of the online world."—NPR.org

"Kids should appreciate the way the book puts responsibility in their hands and empowers them to fight back. The advice is specific and persuasive: Delete your account. Put down your phone. Go outside."—Washington Post Book Club
