Description

85 “A Tale off the Top of my Head”, an interactive story like you have never seen before.
A tale is Kirkus Star (July 2012) and Mobile Of The Day award (7th October 2012).

Ari Allistair Arx-Sorensen is a hundred years old…Just a little over a hundred years old. As he watches a fire burn his family home, The Dove, to the ground, Ari tells us the story of his life and his childhood memories: Nimis, Flowing-Water, all of the love they shared and the big crazy parties they held in the grounds of the old family manor house. Ari, always with his she-wolf, Nimis, in tow, lives as a recluse in the manor. He spends his time dreaming and reading. His father, Otto, holds concerts of silence while his mother, Mercy, paints a portrait of Ari that captures him in the most minute detail, until the day this idle and fanciful life is turned upside down by the arrival of Flowing-Water.

The magic of this tale for the young at heart as well as the outstanding quality of the graphics and the carefully designed musical atmosphere will transport you to a world that floats somewhere between reality, fantasy, solemnity and fun.
From 8 years onwards!

The artwork goes hand-in-hand with this, too. It’s got a sort of goth nouveaux look that we found endlessly entertaining. Add to this a slick, hand-drawn interface, and you’ve got one solidly impressive package on your hand. And in case you were wondering, menu and page navigation is as simple and as quick as you hope it would be. Just tap a button here and there to get where you need to go. Date: July 07, 2012

Many of the words used in the story are also not likely to be in young readers vocabularies, but would be great 'challenge' words in a high-school setting (e.g. ostensibly, tribulations, etc.). Overall, though, this is an exceptional and original title that is worth a bit of work on the part of older readers to access its full meaning. Hints of teen angst, depression, isolation, plus references to The Picture of Dorian Gray, and other subtle literary jewels emerge with careful study of the text. The illustrations and enhancements are divine, especially when paired with such lovely music. Not for amateurs, but worth a look for ambitious readers, aged 12 and over. Recommended.

Bottom line: Intriguing, dark book app with beautiful graphics and engrossing text that's too much for the younger set, but might be enjoyed by an angst-filled tween/early teen. Date: October 05, 2012
