About

The Artifacts is an interactive storybook. Take a Journey with Asaf, as he explores his world and you might just find he's not so different from yourself. While it is aimed at middle grade, parents should also get lots of enjoyment from the story and interactivity.

The Artifacts is an interactive storybook, originally created for tablet devices.

Its creators are from Australia and New Zealand, who set out to tell a resonant, universal story with an eco theme. Since its 2011 release The Artifacts has found popularity with middle grade readers and adults alike.

This story is a perfect fit for Grade 4 and 5, and we are told it links perfectly to CCSS language arts (especially 5.RL.7.ii).

Features

A wonderful coming of age story that will tug at your heartstrings
Narration and hundreds of sound effects to bring the world alive
Beautiful music score, composed by New Zealand musician Chris Hurn
