Description
A new immersive children’s reading experience – a book and augmented reality app that work together to create an entirely believable and compelling new universe
According to the one teacher on Earth who believed in her, Emi hadn’t a chance. The space academy of her dreams was more than a reach. The Intergalactic Institute of Science and Technology (IGIST) hadn’t admitted an Earthling for decades. The bygones left on Earth would lead a boring existence if, and only if, they were lucky enough to evade the plague.
Emi always thought she was different, not because her only friend growing up in Rockland was a drone named Sadee, but because she was very determined to become a revered scientist like her late mother. But even a passion for science and good old-fashioned grit could not prepare Emi for the challenges that await in a wide, strange galaxy under the auspices of the Star League.
This innovative book for children and teenagers age 10+ can be read on its own – or you can download a free app featuring amazing augmented reality that when pointed at the illustrations in the book, bring them to life! The app also contains reward badges, special activities and character information.
