Click - "one novel, ten authors"


With its long list of authors: David Almond, Eoin Colfer, Toddy Doyle, Deborah Ellis, Nick Hornby, Margo Lanagan, Gregory Maguire, Ruth Ozeki, Linda Sue Park, and Tim Wynne-Jones, 'Click' ended up being a very interesting book. When I started the book over the summer, I wasn't really sure what it would be about since the discription was so confusing. I didn't understand how so many authors could colaborate to make one cohesive story. The book was about a girl, Maggie, who had inherited a box full of things that had belonged to her grandfather. Being that he had been a world renowned photographer, many of the things were from all over the world and were very hard to figure out. What made the book so interesting is that each chapter of the book had been written by a different author, and told of many different time periods, describing different charecters thats lives had been impacted by Maggie's grandfather. In the end, Maggie ends up learning even more about her grandfather after he was dead, just by visiting the people and places he had been through his career.

Andrea,
Here's another type of story written by many, 140 characters at a time on Twitter.com. You have to start at the end, and then read backwards.
