Synopsis The Wood Wide Web is a ghost town. No one goes out or talks to each other, and the children hide in their tree houses all day long. Professor Plano, Zed and Zee get there to find that Cybugs have infested the town. They text trash, send nasty notes and dislike everything in sight. Is Lord Myopic behind this? The trio need to hurry to help their new friends, but how? The Series Myopia (short-sightedness), device dependency and lack of outdoor activity are public health concerns worldwide. Stories from the plano adventures are based on years of scientific research, written specially to empower young readers to tackle these adverse effects of excessive device use.
Dr Mohamed (Mo) Dirani is a world leading expert on myopia, or short-sightedness. At age 26, Mo earned his PhD with the world’s largest twin study on myopia in Australia. His research showed that the environment can influence the development of myopia even in twins who share 100 per cent of their genes. In 2009, Mo led a national study on myopia in Singapore, which confirmed that myopia can occur in very young children, putting them at risk of developing sight-threatening myopia later in life. Therefore, early prevention is important. The Professor Plano Clear Vision Recipe is strongly based on this science. Today, Mo heads plano Pte Ltd, a company with a single mission to help families all over the world manage device use and myopia. Hwee Goh is a former TV journalist whose real love is reading and writing. Mum to two boys and identical twin girls, she’s also written non-fiction for kids.
