In this book, Soledad Gutiérrez Eguía presents an engaging perspective for adolescents regarding their use of mobile phones and screens in general. She provides useful, relevant information designed to open their eyes—empowering them to be truly free and to avoid being "lured by shiny trinkets" (which may look like diamonds, but aren't) dangled by social media and consumer culture.
Sole makes it clear that while the current situation is not the fault of the adolescents themselves, they do have the power to take action. She places the responsibility for their choices back into their own hands, equipping them with the information they need to achieve genuine freedom.
She manages to communicate with them without her message turning into the kind of "life lesson" that parents often deliver—the very sort that teenagers tend to loathe and find difficult to hear.
This book is intended for adolescents, but it is also a valuable resource for parents, educators, and anyone who supports or takes an interest in young people.
It is essential that adults read it first, and that we resist the urge to immediately jump to the "moral" or the educational takeaway; instead, we should give teenagers the time to process the information Sole provides and make it their own.
