Yes, it was a brilliant move to make everyone dumber and otherwise cause havoc.

Chinese under 14 have a limit of 40 minutes a day on their version of TikTok.

I found the Scholomance books (first is Deadly Education) pretty engaging (although the protagonist is a teen girl)

Murderbot has three novellas and they are a lot of fun so could try those (they are short enough to be manageable as audiobooks too).

I think you'd have to get them unhooked from the screens first for any book recommendations to work.

DS used to read a lot when younger but now with Tiktok and other social media he can't seem to concentrate long enough to finish a page. Are there any good books that you can recommend that hooked your child who is really addicted to social media?
Some of the slower starting books we've tried have been a bust.
