This book SAYS "for kids," but in all honesty, it doesn't read like a book kids would go out of their way to read. The target audience is really more the "and parents & teachers who haven't got a clue."
It's also VERY dated (the example computers all use CRT monitors, AOL is regularly used as an example, question mentioned stealing a 50-cent candy bar), and I wouldn't be surprised if half the links listed are broken by now.
The CONCEPTS are pretty clear, however, though (as is stated in the introduction) there are no "YOU MUST DO THIS" so much as everything is concluded with a series of questions along the lines of, "How would YOU feel if such-and-such happened to you?" It's a good rough overview of the types of internet and computer issues that still go on today, but it definitely could stand an update.
Four stars because it was likely very good when it was fresh, though I'm sure kids would just read the little comics only, rather than the accompanying text. Not really surprised to find this in a little library, is what I'm saying.
