“A rousing tale of self-reliance, community, and standing up to bullies...software freedom is human freedom!” - Cory Doctorow, Sci-Fi Author

Kudos to the author for packaging difficult topics such as monopolies, lobbyism, digital divide, software freedom, digital autonomy, IoT, consumer control, e-waste and much more in a child-friendly form in an easily understandable and exciting storyline” - Jörg Luther, chief editor of the German Linux-Magazin, LinuxUser, Raspberry Pi Geek
