Meet Journey, an 11-year-old girl who’s just received her first phone—an exciting gift that opens up a whole new world. At first, everything seems harmless. With a quick swipe and a tap, Journey is connected to endless possibilities, to friends, to trends, and to an exciting digital universe. But as she spends more and more time on her phone, something starts to change. The world inside the screen becomes all-consuming, and slowly, she begins to drift away from the real world around her.

Her family notices it first—how Journey, once so full of life, now seems distracted, withdrawn, and distant. The house that was once filled with laughter and conversation now feels eerily quiet. Her friends notice it too—once inseparable, now they struggle to even get a word in. Journey is lost in the dark corners of the internet, a place where things aren’t always what they seem, where toxic trends and harmful influences lurk just a click away.

As the days pass, Journey’s connection to the world she once knew seems to fade. The more time she spends online, the harder it becomes to break free. But will her family be able to reach her before it’s too late? Will they be able to bring her back to the light of the real world, away from the shadows of the internet?

In this heartfelt, suspense-filled story, Linda Hunt tackles the dangers of digital addiction, the importance of real-world connection, and the power of family and friendship in helping a child rediscover what truly matters. The question remains: Can Journey escape the grip of the dark world inside her phone, or is it already too late?
