Your Very Own Story: Bukolla
A book series that works like a video game!
Ævar Þórs Benediktsson’s books, where the reader is in charge, have enjoyed immense popularity in recent years. Your Very Own Story is a simpler version of the Icelandic bestseller series “Your Very Own-books”, that takes one character from each book and gives them their individual story, with more images and simpler text. Here, the reader is the main character and gets to decide what happens, each book has more than 10 different endings! A thrilling interactive reading experience, that can be read again and again! The series uses a special font designed to make reading easier for people with reading disorders.
Your own story – Bukolla is about a clever cow, a babbling river, ode sketches, a mad bull, a flaming bonfire, the size of a bore – and YOU. Because you decide what happens. Just remember that if the story ends badly, you can always try again – there are more than ten different story endings!
Your own story – Bukolla is the first book in the ever-popular Your Own Book Series, which has won both the Children’s Book Award and the Bookseller Award.
The masterful illustrations are made by Evana Kisa.

Reviews
Katrín Lilja / Lestrarklefinn.is
"The books brought a lot of happiness to the boys and sparked interest and excitement in them to pick up the book again and continue to read and try other ways in the books. Each book has ten story endings, so you are actually getting ten light reading books, of different lengths, in one."
