A New Kindle-Only Children's Interactive Adventure Series is being launched and will be published exclusively on the Kindle worldwide. BookSurfers is written for the "tweens" - nine to 12 year-olds and is based on the classic novels Treasure Island and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The characters of BookSurfers are Ryan, Jake, Becca, and Harriet they use a special digital device to jump into classic adventure stories with the readers and are able to use hyperlinks to connect to corresponding points in the original classic.
BookSurfers offers children a way to engage with the classics in a way that hasn't been done before ~ the books work very specifically on the Kindle with hyperlinks between the new adventure and the original classic story. Zoe Watkins, creative director, states that,"the concept especially lends itself to digital and adds a whole extra layer of interactivity perfect for inspiring readers." Look for Robin Hood and A Christmas Carol to be released later on during the year through the BookSurfers.
