Ahaboom: branching comics for kids 9 to 12

Panel 1. A grey, rainy kitchen. Alexa slumps over a fractions worksheet, cheek on her fist. Mom's hand holds a mug at the edge of the panel.

Mom: Did you do your math?

Alexa: …ugh.

Panel 2. Tally the robot zooms in holding up a tablet with SLICE! Episode 1 on it. Its warm light falls on Alexa, who sits up, curious.

Tally: Want to try it inside a story?

Panel 3, a real panel from SLICE! Episode 1. At the pier, Tally projects the control gate: four square sections, three packed with wires, one empty. Alexa studies it. A marigold outline marks the three wired quarters and the one clear quarter.

A real panel from Episode 1

Tally: See the fraction hiding here? The people on the wheel need it.

Alexa: One quarter is clear!

Panel 4. Warm evening light. Alexa beams on the sofa, hugging the tablet. Mom smiles from the doorway. Tally winks.

Alexa: Can I read one more episode?
