About this listen

Everyone seems to know about Coolsocial, a fun social media app, except Gerry, and this gets him teased by Adam and his friends.

So Gerry decides to follow suit, eager and ready to make some new online friends. But things don’t turn out the way he had hoped, and all he can do now is what he loves most—give Mr. Bottles, his furry cat, some belly rubs.

Might this be the answer to everything?

A touching and inspirational children’s listen about bullying, cyberbullying, hope and forgiveness.

This story really struck a chord with me, especially seeing how the main character navigated trying to fit in with what everyone else was doing. It felt so relatable to those moments when you're tempted to jump on a trend, even if it doesn't quite feel right. Experiencing the character's journey made me reflect on my own priorities and reminded me that true comfort often comes from the simplest, most genuine things in life. It was a lovely listen that left me feeling more at peace with just being myself.

The storyline was great! The redemption element at the end was good. But the voice quality the narrator used for Gerry's voice bothered me. The first time Gerry spoke was different from the rest of the narration, though he became more consistent in the end. Still I would want my grand to listen to this story if I had one.

Great topic!

What I liked is that the book presents a clear and straightforward message about cyberbullying: Don’t write mean things about other people online.

The language is simple enough for younger kids to follow along. The narrator is perfect for smaller children - he is full of energy and does a great job with all the character voices.

This is a great book to entertain your children while teaching them a valuable lesson. And I think it’s perfect for starting conversations about social media and bullying with your kids. Definitely recommended.
