Loose strands is really well done, I love following the strands from page to page...so cleverly written with the perfect amount if interaction to enhance this beautifully illustrated story. My son who is 10yrs old enjoyed reading and navigating thru this book app.
Impressive

The interactives let the reader control the action of the story. A novel idea!

This well-told story reminds me of a Tim Burton movie—very intriguing, a bit dark and somewhat quirky. I love it! Kids will love reading this “choose your own adventure” book over and over again just to find out what happens when they make a different choice for Roland. The clever page turning will have you redrawing strands when you lose yourself in the story and forget which way to swipe (up, left, right or down). With wonderful illustrations and interactive features PLUS a story that doesn’t disappoint, this gem deserves to be discovered. Can't wait for the Tim Burton movie version.
