Kind of sensationalist when addressing cyber-terrorism, but has some interesting facts and details about various types of cybercrime and its history. I would recommend it to Grade 6-8 students interested in computers beyond casual social networking or gaming. It is interesting and informative. Nice graphic appeal with various points of entry into the text.
This book provides a good overview of computer hacking, a good place to find out what "script kiddies" means! And focuses on alot of infamous TEEN hackers!
