Some of the titles included in the pilot are Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson, Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt and For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway.

"Children now have more ways to discover books that engage their minds, and can do so on platforms that are familiar and easy to use."
