10yo Ezra finally got a cell phone! He's gone all of 5th grade without one and feels left out of a lot of the fun his friends have had - texting, chatting and sending pictures to each other. One of the first things Ezra does with his phone is to send his friends a funny picture of a couple of chicken nuggets breaded together that looks like a butt. The picture gets shared and before long, other kids are following Ezra's account. He keeps finding things that look like a butt and sending funny pictures, but before long Ezra takes a photo that turns his world upside down. He's in real trouble and so are the kids who received it.
Feldman's debut is a great story. 10-year-olds learning about sexting seemed super young to me, but, unfortunately, they aren't. Ezra Exposed presents the topic in an age-appropriate, kid-relatable way. It's funny, engaging, a great read, and a perfect conversation starter.
