Media Meltdown

Pema, Bounce and Jagroop are battling a greedy developer for control of the airwaves.

When Karl Reed, Owner of Oasis Developments, tries to buy a local fruit farm—through whatever means necessary—Pema, Bounce and Jagroop decide to expose him through the media. They soon learn when it comes to the news and the advertisers who make it possible, the truth is not always part of the story. Can the kids overcome media consolidation and the power of money to outwit a crooked developer and the media company that hides his secrets?

Media Meltdown is a fast-paced mystery illustrated by Michael Deas and packed with media literacy skills every modern kid should have.
