"Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing is committed to exploring new ways to deliver content to our core audience and to have that audience be a part of the experience," says Justin Chanda, publisher of S&S Books for Young Readers. "I think 'Loser/Queen' is a big step forward in the digital landscape, not to mention being a terrific story, by a first-class author."
Earlier this week, S&S Children's Publishing launched the U-Ventures iPhone App inspired by the original book series "Choose Your Own Adventure." The first of three apps available now is U-Ventures: Return to the Cave of Time.
