Sara Fanellli's book breaks all the rules: with its unique layout and construction, it is designed to be experienced, like a performance or a game. This is a book that positively demands interaction: by the time a young reader has finished it, the book they started out reading no longer exists in the same form. The story revolves around a resourceful and inquisitive young onion who is trying to escape a most unpleasant fate – ending up in a hot frying pan. Appealing directly to you, the reader, the onion asks a series of questions requiring responses to be written or drawn on the pages of the book, which will eventually her escape her horrible fate. Having worked your way throughout the book, collecting puzzles along the way, you the reader are then encouraged to literally free this character from the book: each page features the perforated outline of an onion (the front and back cover of this paperback book included), so you can pop out the onion out.
