Details from Ray Kurzweil post referenced above:
"A novel with 2 companion books.
1. — Enjoy the samples below from the novel — Danielle: Chronicles of a Superheroine —- and its 2 non-fiction companion books. Illustrated by Amy Kurzweil, a cartoonist featured in the New Yorker magazine — and my daughter.
Danielle’s world is complex, exciting, and chock full of ideas + people from modern history. The novel takes you on an international trip-tych of Danielle’s story starting as a baby — growing up with her into a young adult. The book is organized by her age.
2. — I wrote the non-fiction companion book — A Chronicle of Ideas: a Guide for Superheroines and Superheroes — to take readers on a tour behind-the-scenes: digging deep into the topics, tech, events, and characters that bring Danielle’s journey to life. Each chapter of the novel includes a matching section from the guide book. So you can read-along as you go.
3. — I wrote the non-fiction companion book — How to Be a Danielle — to give readers a pathway to be like Danielle in their own endeavors. Empowering everything you do!"
