• Description existante : « Loose Strands, by DarnedSocks Productions, is a choose-your-own-adventure style story app with dozens of different possible adventures. This imaginative tale is about a boy who is trapped in world where he can never go outside and everything (and I do mean everything) is made of hair from the family's barber shop […] this is the perfect app for reluctant readers, because each time you read, the story takes a different path through a visual map that you can reference from the bookmark menu. And each 'page' of text is usually only a few sentences, presented in a large, easy-to-read font. A strand of hair emerges from the edge of each page and is lightly animated as the luscious locks spread toward the side of the screen that the reader needs to swipe for the next page turn […] Light animation appears periodically on interactive pages, but the primary experience in this app is reading. This story is not narrated, which is the only real downside to this otherwise amazing digital book. […] This digital book [includes] a way to 'save' your progress (perhaps right before making a decision), so you can return later to any particular version of the story and start-over. This makes for a book app with nearly endless possibilities that will keep a young tween-aged reader happy for a very long time. My only hope is that there are more titles like this in a series, similar to the print titles that were so popular in the 1980s & 90s. For 21st century young readers, Loose Strands sets the gold-standard for non-linear and user-controlled storytelling. It's engaging, educational and above-all entertaining for the target audience of 8-12+. »
