I think this online book would be ideal as a read aloud for a classroom. I as an adult was captivated by the suspense that was built throughout the series.

The first episode opens in China, where 8 year-old Alice and her parents have moved because of her father’s secretive work. Her father goes missing, and Alice and her mother must conduct a late-night search to find him. The vagueness surrounding his job and the implication that this is not the first time he has disappeared--impedes the building of suspense. Subsequent episodes do little to clarify the situation, and their events, while darkly photographed and mysterious-looking, inevitably fall flat. Episode #3 - Russia is perhaps the most successful of the tales, with Alice hiding in a closet while her parents argue with faceless, angry brutes. This is the first time it feels as if something is truly happening to Alice’s family.
Inanimate Alice is an ambitious and interesting exercise in digital literacy, and one can only hope that the storytelling will improve as more episodes are created. ( )
