A truly interactive book, allowing readers to “generate” their own story all by themselves from the components provided.

Children’s and Young Adult

Storyworks, from the creators of the popular children’s magazine Raketa, enables children to create their own story from the 12 million possible combinations of figures, objects and situations that can be drawn out of the “story generator.” The aim is to develop children’s imagination and creative potential while pushing the boundaries of fantasy. At the same time, it helps to develop the reader’s literacy. Sixty games and tasks are divided into four levels according to the ability and age of the reader/creator. Each level has been illustrated by a different illustrator. The book can also be used creatively by writing, drawing and pasting things onto it.
