Kindle-only children's series launched
Quote:
BookSurfers, written by the children's writer David Gatward, is aimed at nine to 12-year-olds and is based on the classic novels Treasure Island and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The four Booksurfers, Ryan, Jake, Becca and Harriet use a bespoke digital gadget called The Nautilus to jump into classic adventure stories with the reader able to use hyperlinks to connect to the corresponding points in the original classic.

The classic novels are bundled in with the price of the new book, meaning readers can explore both books as the narrative unfolds. Two further titles based on Robin Hood and A Christmas Carol are also slated for release later this year.

Creative director Zoe Watkins said the series had been developed with the Kindle platform in mind.
