The Disconnect

by Keren David

The teenagers in Esther’s school are challenged to give up their phones for six weeks with the promise of a cash prize for those who can manage it. Esther is desperate to see her dad and sister who have moved away and this might be the only way she can afford the flights but can she stay disconnected? A thought-provoking story of the influence that phones can have on our lives.
