Inanimate Alice tells the story of a girl who dreams of one day becoming a game designer. Readers become immersed in her adventures through episodes of progressive digital complexity as Alice grows up and develops the maturity and technology skills she needs to make her dreams come true.
From the first episode, readers grow up alongside Alice and her digital friend Brad, her guide and protector. As Alice travels the world with her parents, Brad at her side, she transitions from the loneliness of homeschooling to the excitement and challenges of attending high school and college.
Like life itself, Inanimate Alice is an immersive experience. Young readers can let their imaginations roam free as they join Alice on her globe-trotting adventures.
