Books are changing.  It’s a fact.  And that’s the beauty of the new media.  If you can dream it, you can make it happen.  The technology exists or can be created so any illusion can be realized  That is certainly true for books.  There’s the obvious e-book whether you read it on your computer, your e-reader or your phone, you’re never far away from a good read.  But books are becoming much more than words on a page sandwiched between a front and back cover.  Witness The Amanda Project

When the full website launches in June 2009 it will feature the book, Invisible I, by Melissa Kantor, published by HarperCollins.

According to their website, The Amanda Project is an interactive, collaborative fictional mystery for girls ages 13 & up, told across a variety of different media including an 8-book series, a website that features games, writing, art & social networking, and a related series of blogs, satellite sites, music, and merchandise.

Books are changing.  Now the reader has the opportunity to go beyond the pages and get as involved as they wish.  I know we’ll be seeing many more interactive book projects as the months roll by – and I’m certain they’ll be as popular as many celebrity websites are now.
