Hilda Bewildered at Mac App Store analyse

From the creators of The Artifacts and Midnight Feast, Hilda Bewildered is a new illustrated short story for deep-thinking adolescent readers. Somewhere in a non-specified European country, Princess Hilda comes of age. She must deliver a prepared speech at midnight tonight, charged with the task of ‘opening winter’. Unfortunately for Hilda, she is terrified of speaking in front of a live audience. Put on your close-reading hats for this one. Prepare a cup of peppermint tea, find the coldest time of day, then plug in some headphones to fully appreciate the beautiful soundtrack. _______________________________________ HILDA BEWILDERED THEMES AND IDEAS: • The nature of celebrity • Constant surveillance/Imaginary Audience Syndrome • Social invisibility • The stochastic nature of birthright • Beauty and self-image • ‘Grass is greener’ feelings • The language of advertising • Fear of public speaking • Finding inner strength • Loneliness among crowds _______________________________________ OTHER FEATURES: • 32 pages of story • Intuitive navigation • Painterly style of artwork • Hand-coded interactive book • Original soundtrack composed for this story by Chris Hurn • Any links to the Internet are well out of the way, behind a ‘parental gate’ • Internet links = author notes on our own website, and back to the App Store
