Ned the Internet Troll

What happens when an internet troll isn’t very good at being mean? You get Ned the Internet Troll—a funny, heartfelt picture book that turns online negativity into something kids can understand, laugh at, and learn from. Ned is supposed to be a proper internet troll: grumpy, rude, and excellent at writing mean comments. But there’s just one problem… Ned is absolutely terrible at being mean. Instead of spreading hurt, he ends up doing something far more powerful—showing kids what kindness looks like in action.

Through whimsical illustrations and gentle humor, children learn an important truth: hurtful words usually say more about the person saying them than the person receiving them. It’s a simple, comforting way to help young readers pause, breathe, and move on when they encounter negativity—online or in real life. 

Created by blind author and illustrator Paul Castle, this story is designed for real kids facing real emotions, even before they start using the internet. It builds emotional confidence early, helping children practice kindness long before they log on. Perfect for classrooms, families, and growing minds, this 32-page full-color hardback (7 x 8 inches) is part of the Ned The Internet Troll series and is ideal for ages 4–10.

Funny. Gentle. Reassuring. Because even trolls can teach us how to be kind.
