Gram and Gran Save the Summer: A Whimsical Adventure in Media Literacy

By Stephen Chiger and Daniel Pereira

"Put together the wordplay of The Phantom Tollbooth, the imagination of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and the problem-solving mysteries of Encyclopedia Brown, make it about media and digital literacy, and you've got Gran and Gram Save the Summer. This book is a must-have for every middle-grade library." - Faith Rogow, author of Media Literacy for Young Children: Teaching Beyond the Screen Time Debates

Do you have what it takes to save the summer - and the world?

When Nia, Deja, and D'Angelo's summer camp closes unexpectedly, they learn they'll be spending the summer with their Gram and Gran - two figures they barely know who live on a tiny island off the coast of Maine. Their mom is hoping they'll have a screen-free summer, but to their surprise, the island is dominated by a giant skyscraper that gives free, hyperfast Wi-Fi to all. The inventor who built it? Vanished. And as for Gram and Gran? They're more than a little bizarre.

Can you solve a series of puzzles and get to the bottom of the island's mysteries? As the siblings will learn, there's a lot more than just their summer on the line.

Written by two award-winning educators, Gram and Gran Save the Summer introduces media literacy concepts in the best way possible: with a whimsical story and a fantastic set of challenges to conquer.
