I always love reading because I feel like I am transported to a new world, one I am unable to explore personally but can easily reach with my imagination. I recall bringing so many books from the library, even if I could not finish them all in one day, because I was worried others might borrow them too, and I would have to wait a long time before I could read them. From books and lovely stories, I have learned so many things. As a matter of fact, I had my own adventures through the character’s experiences. And I had the same experience again when I read the book, Adventures of Ai. I even felt like a tween again!
This eBook is perfect for kids aged 9-12 and for teens, too. It starts with a modern setting, which then progresses into the different adventures of the main character Ai. The story is interesting and provoking, which will surely make kids read it from page one to the end without letting it go. The tone of the book varies from the kids, to their father, to Ai’s point of view. Once you get to the part of Ai’s adventures, you will surely finish it until the end to find out what happened to her.
Adventures of Ai Summary
Ai means ‘love’ in Japanese, and this is something we will feel and see throughout the story. The story begins with a father telling his kids a story. He shared with the kids the story of an adventurous young Japanese girl named Ai, who was on a mission to reunite with her father. During her mission, she encountered many challenges. In her adventures, she went with her faithful horse, a bluebird, and a deer. Ai showed us how to be independent, stron,g and how to value family and friendship. It also encourages us to never give up, and that knowledge can bring us a long way.
About the Book
The book is written by Craig T. Bouchard, a New York Times bestselling author who created a unique transmedia entertainment event for kids. This book is an app for a video game named Ai’s Adventures. This is actually my first time seeing a book and a game in one, which is interesting, especially for today’s generation. This book will be released on July 16 in six languages and distributed through one of the greatest 3D video games of 2014
The Video Game
It is a 3D video game where kids will follow Ai’s adventures and solve problems and challenges in art, history, poetry, music, and mathematics.
For sure, many kids will be able to play with it because it is compatible with iOS, Android, and Kindle. Before the game starts, kids can choose to play for their country. The scores you earn in the game will be converted into cash contributions to different charities.
Proceeds from a global competition of kids playing the video game benefit children’s charities around the world, including Lurie Children’s Hospital, Misericordia Hearts of Mercy, The National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, K is for Kids, The Equestrian Challenge, Ashinaga Uganda Rainbow House, Operation Smile in China, Taipei Orphan Foundation and Maria Social Welfare Foundation in Taiwan, The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Recovery in Japan, Cry and Magic Bus in India, Children’s Leukemia and Cancer Research Foundation, and the Sony Foundation of Australia, and the Child Cancer Foundation of New Zealand. And this is sure a great thing, too! You play and help at the same time.
You can get a copy of the books from Amazon, iTunes/iBooks Store, Google Play and Google Books.
