Abstract
This guide reflects on the complex and interactive digital environment in which adolescents in Spain construct their (multiple) identities. Each chapter ends with recommendations addressed to educators and other professionals dealing with adolescents, public policymakers in charge of integration and protection, app and content creators, industries, and media professionals. It will certainly be a challenge for all these sectors to consider adolescents themselves and their families as partners in the discussion of these recommendations.

Outcome
The review of this work developed by Torregossa-Carmona (2020) summarises this book as a set of works that make up a coherent and complete work that naturally does not offer, as none of them could, global and permanent solutions to the most controversial aspects of our digital day-to-day life. However, "it does outline a wide-ranginggallery of key ideas and recommendations of extraordinaryuseful for educators, parents, young people and teenagers, all protagonists of the ambivalent digital world that is analysed aand unravelled in this collective publication" (Torregossa-Carmona, 2020: 425).
