You’ll find Ulysses waiting for you under the walls of the city of Troy, ready to launch the last attack together before finally setting sail for Ithaca! The voyage is long and full of surprises, including storms, magic spells, sirens, giants, heroes, and beautiful women… But there’s no way he can make it without you. You’ll have to take him by the hand and help him overcome various obstacles. No one is too small, too big, or too timid for this incredible adventure. Just find the courage to… touch, tilt, and shake the magic tablet! And if you think this is girls’ stuff, well, when you see Penelope, the mysterious Circe and the beautiful Calypso, you might change your mind.
All aboard? We’re off!

I am so impressed with this version of the classic story and a certain five-year-old is also enthralled. The illustrations, interactive parts and the narrator's voice and reading are all superb. Thank you! Now more, please
Gob smacked by its beauty!

This interactive telling of Ulysses is so amazingly beautiful, with clever interactions that engage and delight. My 8 year old son loved--and i loved it even more. Buy it. You will not be disappointed.

My 2nd review ever. This is a wonderful reading experience. The narration is great, with extra reading for kids and students who like digging deeper, and also interactive things that are clever while keeping distraction to a minimum. The ingenuity of the app benefits the reading experience, doesn't take away. I teach 5th grade and this has been a great book for engaging them with history and reading about history.
