The App That Asked Too Much (Paperback)

Paperback. Twenty brilliant questions. One free hero card. And, in small print at the bottom, your full name, your year and your school.The storySuperMe is the quiz everybody is doing. You answer twenty questions and it works out your superpower and prints you an Official Hero Card, gold border, purple starburst, lightning drawn in behind you. Amber Sharma is MISS LIGHTNING. Her twin Arun is THE SILVER SHADOW. Dev has decided his soul contains mostly football and is confident of CAPTAIN STATISTIC.Maya looks at the card properly, because looking at things properly is rather her whole reputation. And there at the bottom, under the photograph, on a shiny card being passed hand to hand round a crowd like a bag of crisps, is Amber's full name, her year and her school.Something itches at the back of Maya's brain. It is the feeling you get when a step is not quite where your foot expected it.The tellThe question ladder. The quiz warms you up with nineteen fun, easy, harmless questions, and puts the private one at the end, when stopping feels like losing. A fair question does not need nineteen fun ones in front of it.Nan's question does the rest: what is it FOR? A quiz needs your answers. It does not need your address to tell you your superpower. When something asks for more than its job needs, the asking is the real job.The treasureYour full name, your school, your address and photos of you are the full set of you. Each piece looks small. Together they tell a stranger exactly who you are and where to find you.And photos do not fly home. Once you send one you cannot take it back and you cannot see where it goes. If a card or a game needs a picture of you, a drawing does the job and stays in the room.What your child will be able to doIdentify personal information: full name, address, school and photographs.
