Decibella is a loud talker. A really loud talker. She's so loud, she's hurting ears, startling wait staff, disrupting classmates, and annoying moviegoers. She doesn't realize different environments and situations sometimes demand a softer, quieter voice.

A cute, creative story about children and their texts, tweets, posts and pics. Don't be mean and irresponsible! That's the straight-to-the-point advice "Screen" has for young readers who are active on social media. Whether tapping out messages on their computers, tablets or phones, Screen wants kids to know their words – the kind and the cruel – will follow them for life, creating a digital trail that can't be erased.
