Reviews:
Yep. The struggle is real. I love how creativity and imagination sneak in to win the battle of “What should we do now?” Mrs. Taetz skillfully tucks literary devices alongside the powerful message of what it means to be “Smart”. Well done. Be smart, turn off your device, and go play! Love it!!

Her story about the smart TV is creative and fun. The reader can engage in problem-solving and embrace the notion that there is so much more to do in the world than merely watching a smart TV. Readers will enjoy the adventure of getting the technology to work while engaging in a well-written and humorous story.
