Interactive Book for TeensIn 2012, Dave Morris and Profile Books partnered with Inkle to create an interactive retelling of the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The book is vividly illustrated with detailed anatomical illustrations from the 16th to 19th centuries that fit well with the overall theme of Frankenstein. Although originally only available for iPhones and iPads through iTunes, the company released an Android version in 2013. As for age appropriateness, the Google Play Store rates the app for all The World (2013), iTunes suggests grades twelve and up (2012), and a rating from The School Library Journal suggests grades eight and up (Grabarek, 2012). At the time of writing, iTunes charges $4.99 for the app and the Play Store has it for $4.57. The publisher spent some time marketing the book, creating both a Facebook and Pinterest page for users to find more information. The Facebook page contains relevant information about Frankenstein in general as well as specific information about the app itself. The page received more than a thousand likes; however, the last post is dated January 10 of this year, so interest has likely started to wane (Profile Books, 2014). The Pinterest page also had a mix of pinned items relating to Frankenstein and Mary Shelley. Profile Books, the publisher, has a page for the app on its website, and developer Inkle also has a page dedicated to the app. In addition to social media and websites, the developer has also created two trailers for the app accessible on YouTube, which introduce readers to the interactive format and attractive user interface. Somehow, in all my reading, I had never read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. . I was looking forward to reading the book and was curious about the intera...... middle of paper...... repackaged book, but staying true to the original. In a perfect world, teenagers would read simply because they understand the immense benefits of reading; however, realistically, sometimes teenagers need a little nudge to get them reading. I believe this app provides this push.Works CitedFrankenstein. (2013). Retrieved from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bbg.frankenstein&hl=en_GBFrankenstein, for iPad and iPhone.
