The Tiny Tycoons: CyberMental by Dollapo Adeyemi is a genius guidebook for middle-grade readers. Children will learn what a Creator is and how to bring their ideas to life. It all stems from your imagination, resourcefulness, and knowledge of the world around you. Children will get to follow Max (the tech whiz) and his sister Mia’s (the artistic talent) creative journey. Throughout the book, they teach children the importance of internet safety, resourcefulness, being eco-friendly, and balancing their digital time wisely for their overall health and well-being.


Dollapo Adeyemi does a great job of getting across the message and achieving her goals in this book. She expertly describes all of the terms and methods with sufficient up-to-date evidence backing them up. You can tell she put a lot of research and planning into it (which comes as no surprise, given her advanced academic background). Each section is explained in a way that children can understand and relate to, and includes fun activities for further comprehension.


The brother-sister team is very authentic, relatable (especially with their humor, which all kids can appreciate!), likable, and convincing. They will motivate and encourage children to create their own inventions, as well as spark their curiosity to learn and ask questions. The characters give good advice by telling kids to start small to build up their confidence and avoid feeling overwhelmed (and always ask for help if needed). They also list example projects at the end of the book.


Here are two points in the book that I found especially encouraging:


Max and Mia stress the importance of finding a healthy balance between the digital world and real life. Don’t miss out on being active in real life with your family and friends, and be sure to get plenty of fresh air. Take digital time-outs throughout the day (such as before bed, which can otherwise negatively affect your sleep).


Also, remember that sharing your projects and ideas with others is very beneficial. The more you share, the more knowledge and encouragement you will give others.


I highly recommend this book to all middle-grade readers, regardless of their background or learning abilities. I guarantee they will enjoy reading it and obtain a wealth of knowledge and creative inspiration.
