Summary

Everyone seems to know about Coolsocial, a fun social media app, except Gerry, and this gets him teased by Adam and his friends.

So Gerry decides to follow suit, eager and ready to make some new online friends. But things don’t turn out the way he had hoped, and all he can do now is what he loves most—give Mr. Bottles, his furry cat, some belly rubs.

Might this be the answer to everything?

A touching and inspirational children’s listen about bullying, cyberbullying, hope and forgiveness.

This story really struck a chord with me, especially seeing how the main character navigated trying to fit in with what everyone else was doing. It felt so relatable to those moments when you're tempted to jump on a trend, even if it doesn't quite feel right. Experiencing the character's journey made me reflect on my own priorities and reminded me that true comfort often comes from the simplest, most genuine things in life. It was a lovely listen that left me feeling more at peace with just being myself.

Gerry is the heart of this book, and his experience with the new app is very moving for anyone who listens. You can really feel his excitement turn into worry and sadness as Adam starts the teasing on the platform. The story does a good job of showing that bullying isn't always physical, sometimes it's just mean words on a screen. The focus remains on Gerry's journey and how he deals with the pressure from his peers. It's a very relatable story for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or struggled with how people act on social media.
