Rapper Chipmunk and Horrible Histories author, Terry Deary have launched a new novel written entirely on a Nokia E6 mobile phone to help encourage young people to get reading as recent figures show that one in three children do not own a book.
Entitled the ‘The Perfect Poison Pills Plot‘, the story was penned by one of Britain’s best-selling authors of the 21st century, Terry Deary and brilliantly narrated by Chipmunk in a special video available to view on bit.ly/NokiaShortStories
The Nokia short story is a black comedy aimed at young adults and was inspired by the popular Japanese ‘keitai’ or cell phone short stories, which are written on mobile phones and each chapter is only 70-100 words long. They can be sent direct to a mobile phone through text messages.
