Have you been keeping your eye on your grandma lately? Have you been calling her enough? You sure she’s not spending too much time on YouTube? Is she talking fondly of dictators?

When was the moment the world began to believe anything?Danny Wallace, million-copy bestselling author of Yes Man and Join Me, has fallen down the modern rabbit hole of lies, conspiracies and disinformation. Along the way, he encounters families torn apart by accusations and fake news, journalists putting themselves on the frontline of the disinformation war, reformed conspiracy theorists, influencers who see profit in stoking paranoia, and the shadowy nameless, faceless trolls on the other side of our screens. He discovers how disinformation and well-told lies can ruin a year or a whole life, how they can affect our family, our street, our community. How they can spread across a country, a continent, even the world. How they take hold of our imaginations and make us feel both helpless and powerful.And Danny asks: can you do anything to stop it – even with the truth on your side?

The smart, sweet, and hilarious first novel from the bestselling British humourist, filmmaker, comedian, writer and actor Danny WallaceJason Priestley is in something of a rut. And no, not that Jason Priestley. This is the 32-year-old Jason Priestley who gave up his job as a teacher to pursue his journalistic dreams--writing snarky reviews of cheap restaurants for the free newspaper they give you on the train, the one you take but don't read. He's living above a video-game shop, between a Polish news agent and that place that everyone thinks is a brothel but isn't. And now he's found out on Facebook that the girlfriend who left him is engaged.Reflecting on his most recent Facebook status--"Jason Priestley is . . . eating soup"--Jason's beginning to think he needs a change. So when he notices a girl on the street struggling with an armload of packages, he surprises himself by offering to help her. She smiles an incredible smile, and there's something, a fleeting moment that feels like a beginning. But her cab pulls away, the sense of possibility cruelly cut off until Jason notices that she's dropped a disposable camera.In the hands of his socially inept best friend, Dev, what begins as a far-fetched idea becomes a full-fledged quest to find the woman of Jason's dreams. Exploring that most common question--What if?--the ensuing adventure is surprising, tender and often hilarious.

He's the top jouster, archer, swordfighter and falconer around. But being the best at everything is easy when your parents (aka the king and queen) have made it clear to their subjects that you are not to be beaten. Discover the rudest, snobbiest, most chaotic new voice in middle grade, with this hilarious, mostly historical diary series from bestseller Danny Wallace.
