The Fabulous Friend Machine

Popcorn is, quite simply, the friendliest chicken at Fiddlesticks farm! When she finds a Fabulous Friend Machine in the barn, she sets about making some brand new friends. But behind the screen of the Fabulous Friend Machine, maybe her new friends are not so friendly after all...

A cautionary tale from the globally best-selling Nick Bland.

The Internet is Like a Puddle

The internet can be amazing – it helps you talk to friends and family that live far away, and you can also play games and learn all sorts of fun things.

The internet can also be a bit like a puddle – there are some puddles that are fun to play in, but others are much too deep and aren’t safe. It is important to stay in the right part of the internet.

This series deals with emotive issues that children face in direct and gentle terms, allowing children’s feelings and problems to be more easily shared and discussed with family and friends.

About the Author: Shona Innes is a qualified clinical and forensic psychologist with many years of experience assisting children.
