The Disconnect Synopsis
Could you disconnect from your phone for six weeks?
An eccentric entrepreneur has challenged Esther's year group to do just that, and the winners will walk away with GBP1,000. For Esther, whose dad, sister and baby nephew live thousands of miles away in New York, the prize might be her only chance to afford flights for a visit ...
But can she really stay disconnected for long enough to win?
Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 13+

Keren David Press Reviews
'Could this novel be any more prescient or pressing? ... While the message of this book is clear enough, its real strength is that it's not preachy ... Highly recommended' The Letterpress Project
'This short, snappy and entertaining book has an irresistible premise which many teenagers will find relatable' BookTrust
'An astute, thought-provoking look at the highs and lows of social media' The Bookseller
'Offers young adults plenty to ponder ... Keren David's balanced approach may chime with teens, whose voices on the benefits of campaigning and informing themselves through the use of phones are not drowned out by any dictatorial parental authority' The Echo
'Keren David has written a fascinating novella that more than lives up to its topical and intriguing premise... a thoughtful read but also a gripping one' Minerva Reads, Blog

'I'm a writer whose novel When I Was Joe will be published in the UK
by Frances Lincoln books in January 2010, with the sequel Almost True to follow later in the year. Both books will be published by dTV in
