Welcome to the Interactive Storybook Journey!
Please enjoy a creative journey with the Interactive Storybook, a collaborative work of imagination, creativity and collective storytelling from a vibrant community of students. Here, each chapter turns to reveal a unique story, each piece meticulously woven into the next, creating a wealth of tales from the imaginations of teenage students.
How was the storybook created?
The Storybook is not just a collection of stories, but a journey through the collaborative imagination of the students involved. Through a method we affectionately refer to as 'literary relay', each student creator contributes to the story and transfers the narrative baton to the next, creating a storytelling adventure that is smooth, yet wonderfully unpredictable. Each author becomes a key piece of a larger puzzle, contributing their unique ideas and perspectives to the evolving narrative.
The rules of the literary relay:
-Each participant contributes a segment that moves the story forward.
-Each new segment respects and builds on the previous one, maintaining coherence and consistency.
-Creativity has no limits - but participants make sure that their additions are in line with the previous narrative.
Explore the process of story creation:
Please visit the Forum Board for a comprehensive guide to the creation of this interactive storybook, starting with a set of rules designed for educators initiating such a project. Browse through the individual story segments uploaded by student participants following these guidelines, and watch the creativity unfold in corresponding video clips on the YouTube channel.
Join us in celebrating collaborative storytelling:
This project aims for this prototype to serve not only as a reading experience, but also as a celebration of collective creativity, expression, and the limitless possibilities of collaborative storytelling in education.
Please explore, enjoy and provide your valuable feedback to help us improve the interactive storybook and make the future chapters even more engaging.
Happy reading and exploring!

Transformation and Self-Discovery
In this final story, the protagonist undergoes a profound transformation. Initially, he is confused and desperate, confronted with a reality that doesn't align with his memory. This confusion and desperation could be seen as the 'Ordeal' in the story arc, where the protagonist faces his greatest internal or external challenge. The touch of the book – a symbolic and literal gateway to his past and future – serves as a transformative catalyst. This moment might be likened to the 'Reward' phase in the story arc, where the protagonist achieves a significant milestone after the ordeal.
Through this touch, he is jolted back to his true self – the young boy with a nimble mind and a love for stories. The library, previously a place of conflict and challenge, re-emerges as a sanctuary and a source of joy and adventure. It is where he can be himself, living out numerous lives and tales through the books he reads.
This transformation marks a significant self-discovery for the protagonist, as he reconnects with his love for reading and storytelling. In essence, he finds ‘himself’ again, which is indicative of a classic transformation or self-discovery arc, where the protagonist comes to understand something new and essential about themselves or their world.
